Finale (Part 1) Chapter 20 The ancient building is the strangest sight in the world

In the next two hours, Fatty told us in detail the entire process of entering the Zhang family's ancient building. The fat man's narrative is very vivid. If I could record it completely, it would be a very beautiful short story. But obviously I don't have so much time, so I can only select the most critical parts and record it.

The population is located in the mountains more than ten miles away from Demon Lake. It is said to be more than ten miles away, but in fact it is only separated by a mountain. The fat man pointed to the cliff opposite the lake and said it was the other side of the cliff.

This entrance is a stone tunnel that goes down the mountain diagonally. Behind a big tree, this big tree grows almost across the mountain, and its trunk is covered with vines. In fact, there is only one person's distance between the tree trunk and the mountain, so people have to squeeze into this gap to find the entrance.

The fat man estimated that this strange-growing tree was specially planted to hide people. But Mrs. Huo said no, because such a tree is more eye-catching on the mountain. That's probably due to changes in the rock formations caused by the engineering here, and the tree shouldn't have looked like that in the first place.

The most likely possibility is that nearby engineering has loosened the rocky soil here. After the craftsmen left, part of the tree's roots broke and fell to the rock, but it did not die, and then slowly formed this scene.

But they didn’t think about it because it didn’t mean much. They cut down some of the vines on the tree and finally found the population.

After they entered through the entrance, most of the mechanisms they encountered were blocked, such as very, very thick stone walls. These mechanisms had very strange opening methods. They used the password we provided to crack them, but after opening them, everyone The road between the blocked agencies was very peaceful, so peaceful that it was incredible.

They kept going inside. The passage is very narrow, almost forcing them to crawl on their stomachs. This seems to be one of their methods and habits of digging holes. The basic shape of the entire channel is square. There were many abandoned and rotten cracked rolling logs on the ground in the passage. The fat man thought they were traces left by the locals when they dragged the coffins.

The mutation occurs in the third mechanism. That is the mechanism where we provided the wrong password in Siguniang Mountain, Sichuan. If you think about it carefully, it's actually very strange, because Fatty said that even if they pressed the wrong button, they could still open the stone door. Nothing fatal happened.

What's even more strange is that they walked through the entire passage and looked all the way through, and found that there were almost no traces of any mechanism in the passage. This is the earliest discovery of Menyoubo. He has a deep understanding of all the tombs and institutions, so his judgment is trustworthy. In other words, the secret signals for opening the door seem to be just decorations, and their only function is to remove the stone doors.

It is very strange that Bi Jing spent so much effort to set up such a complex password in Siguniang Mountain, thousands of kilometers away. But when the password is actually used, it is just a decoration, which is so unreasonable. Faced with this situation, they became even more uneasy because it meant two possibilities. The first possibility is that there is really no mechanism here and they are too careful.

The other is that the mechanism settings here are beyond the experience of Menyoubo.

They soon discovered that the situation they encountered was definitely not the first. But whether it is the second type, they are not sure.

They passed through the stone gate with the wrong password and continued walking for a kilometer or two through the low passage when they realized something was wrong.

At the moment of the accident, Fatty was the first to see a very strange light appearing in front of him. He thought he had finally arrived at the Zhang Family Ancient Building. Excited as hell. But still approach with caution. It took them almost three hours to complete the 100-meter section. Not until I came to that ray of light. They found that everything was not what they imagined - it was just sunshine.

The fat man wiped the rattan felt in that area and walked out. Then they discovered that they had actually walked out, and there was a hidden valley outside: the end of the original passage. It is also an exit opened on the rock of the mountain curtain.

I can almost feel that feeling, like you are participating in a very cruel talent show. I won first place, but found out that the prize was just a certificate.

Even if the prize is a piece of shit, it's still easier to accept than this. Same reason. When they reached the end of the cave, even if they found that the tunnel was completely sealed, it would be better than walking out strangely.

They climbed out of the cave entrance and climbed up the mountainside to the top of the mountain. They found that they were still near the mountain where the entrance was located. They had seen many scenes before. This made them feel incredible. After trekking all the way, they walked out directly. They thought it was possible that the stone path leading to the Zhangjia Ancient Building would be like a subway, with a subway underground and a light rail above ground, so they decided to keep going.

They searched the mountain for a long time and found no other population. Obviously, according to this inference, the tunnel leading to the Zhang family ancient building marked on the style mine is almost just a straight stone road. However, it does not lead to any ancient buildings

Mrs. Huo thought that this couldn't be a scam and something must have gone wrong. They climbed over the mountains and ridges and returned to the entrance behind the big tree. Start following the prompts I wrote to them at the time.

They passed each mechanism again, and this time the result was even more incredible. They still walked out, but the exit was on another mountain.

It was at the foot of a mountain, and there was a very beautiful waterfall next to it.

Something must be wrong, they tell themselves. They also realized at this time whether the password we gave was wrong, which led to this result.

At that time, Fatty also thought about the problem we had thought about in Sichuan before. For example, could it be a wrong protection mechanism? Because after all, everyone who opens this ancient tomb has the possibility of remembering the password incorrectly. If the family information of the password is missing due to some mistakes in inheritance by the descendants of the Zhang family, or due to war or even more social factors, If a part of it is solved, at least their descendants will not be killed by their ancestors' mechanism because they mistakenly activated the mechanism.

In view of the custom of relocating tombs and mass burials in Zhangjia ancient buildings, there will be a lot of work of relocating corpses, so such mistakes are possible. Then, the builders of the Zhang Family Ancient Building will definitely take this into consideration. Will they use some soft mechanisms as a false protection mechanism to avoid accidentally killing future generations?

And having said that, because the password we provided was wrong, they triggered the mechanism in the tunnel, causing the original passage leading to the Zhangjia Ancient Building to divert to another passage, leading them out of the tunnel. This is indeed very possible. But this suspicion was later rejected, and the reason was still a matter of probability. Mrs. Huo said that if this is the case, then this mechanism will have no meaning. Everyone can keep trying, and there will be no danger even if they make mistakes.

It is the same as the mechanism problem I encountered in Siguniang Mountain. This is a logical problem. When I heard this, I almost immediately guessed what would happen next: "The number of times, the key is the number of mistakes:"

"Yes!" The fat man nodded, "Damn it, I told them at the time, but there was nothing we could do: Mrs. Huo said that we are all alive and the stone door can be opened, which proves that the password must be correct and we must be in We missed something going through the tunnel. So we turned back."

It was this turn back that caused things to undergo changes that were incomprehensible. To be continued
