Origin

Chapter 100 The strange sound of scratching at the door

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel depressed. It feels very bad to face beautiful things but not be able to have them.

It is said that men should get married when they are older and women should get married when they are older. When you are old enough, you will inevitably be moved when you meet the right person of the opposite sex. But it is not possible. You cannot be a person without conscience. If you know that it will not last long, you cannot follow your own temperament and leave by yourself when the time comes. , by leaving them behind, isn’t it harming them?

Thinking of this, Wu Zhongyuan sighed. He had no other choice but to continue pretending to be confused. He couldn't pierce the window paper.

"There are a few important things we need to figure out." Wang Xinran said.

After Wang Xinran finished speaking, the three of them looked up at her at the same time.

Wang Xinran frowned and said, "First, are the stone chambers at the back the same as the ones in the front? As long as you answer the questions correctly, the mechanism will not activate."

"It should be the same," Wu Zhongyuan answered, "I will go in and walk back and forth later to see if the man-eating tree at the bottom of the pit will attack me. If it doesn't attack me, it means that as long as the question is answered correctly, the offensive mechanism It won’t start.”

Wang Xinran nodded, "Second, have you ever thought about what kind of rewards might be hidden in the stone chambers inside?"

"I have thought about it," Wu Zhongyuan said, "Something that must be useful to me, at least in his opinion, is useful to me."

"What's the basis?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "The basis is the temperament of the owner of the tomb. Zuo Ci is a Taoist priest. Taoist priests believe in Tai Chi Yin and Yang. The principle they follow in life is not to be wronged or to be let down. The so-called "not to be wronged is not to be unfavorable to oneself nor to be unfavorable to others. They are not willing to let others down." Will allow me to gain something for nothing, and will not allow me to work in vain..."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Wang Xinran interrupted Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "What I want to say is that he knew that I came here for the spirit stone, so he gave me the spirit stone. The spirit stone is the most basic. If I don't want to continue going forward, I can go back now." . If I want to move forward, it’s to play with him. He tried so hard to build such a tomb, and he must be trying to distinguish me. But he doesn’t force me to play with him, so He gave me the spirit stone first, and if I continue to move forward, it will be voluntary, and even if something happens and I get injured, it will not be his responsibility."

At this point, Wu Zhongyuan paused briefly, and then said again after taking a breath, "Those institutions in the future will definitely be dangerous. It's not that he wants to harm me, but in his opinion, if it is not dangerous, it will not be proportional to the reward. To put it bluntly, he wants to give me a reward, but he won’t let me take it away easily.”

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, the three of them all sorted out what he said in their minds. After thinking about it carefully, Wu Zhongyuan's statement was also valid. It was very logical and clear.

Wu Zhongyuan added, "Although Zuo Ci behaves erratically, he is not bad. He left me an antidote pill in the living room to ensure that I can recover completely after being poisoned."

"This is unreasonable," Wang Xinran shook his head, "Since he didn't want you to be poisoned, why did he poison you?"

Wu Zhongyuan said, "I have also thought about this issue. The poison should not be the poison or poisonous gas that he deliberately planted, but the poison brought by the agency itself. Since there are living plants in the stone chamber, there may be living poisons."

This was Wu Zhongyuan's own guess. Wang Xinran didn't think his guess was correct, but there was no reason to overturn his guess, so he changed the question, "What kind of rewards do you think there will be in the agency?"

Wu Zhongyuan said, "He and the female warrior should be in a relationship.

The female warrior must have told him something about me. Since he knows my origin, he can guess what I might do in the future. The rewards from the next four doors should all be useful to me in the future. "

"No matter how good the thing is, you can't take it away." Wang Xinran said. She was almost fully involved in the whole thing and knew the relevant details. The warriors who came to look for Wu Zhongyuan all came alone, and they didn't even carry weapons. This means that you cannot carry anything other than yourself through time and space.

“I definitely can’t take away the physical objects, but I can take away the knowledge and skills.” Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran did not comment and asked another question, "If you answer wrongly and trigger the trap, will there be a second chance to answer the question?"

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "It's hard to say. If the stone chambers at the back are the same as the ones in the front, there will be a chance to answer the question again. But the stone chambers at the back don't contain rock sugar and kidney-tonifying pills. He may not give them My second chance, if I answer wrongly, the reward may be destroyed while triggering the mechanism.”

Wang Xinran nodded slowly, and then said to Zhang Shukai, "Every stone gate is blocked with stones to ensure that we can exit in time in the event of an accident."

Zhang Shukai nodded in agreement and got up to do it.

Wang Xinran threw away the cigarette butt and began to check the firearms and equipment.

At this moment, Lu Jiahui said, "I have a question."

Wu Zhongyuan and Wang Xinran turned to look at her at the same time.

Lu Jiahui said, "Do you still remember what the first sentence on the stone tablet is?"

"What did you think of?" Wang Xinran asked.

Lu Jiahui said, "The first sentence of the stele says that the beauty doesn't know who Xiao Wu is, but he does. That beauty is the one who came to look for Xiao Wu. How could she not know who Xiao Wu is?"

Wang Xinran did not answer, and Wu Zhongyuan said, "I have also thought about this issue. The most likely possibility is that the female warrior only knew who I was before I disappeared, while Zuo Ci guessed who I was after I returned."

Lu Jiahui nodded and said, "I think so too. You may become a famous figure in history after you go back. That's why the owner of the tomb wants to 'discuss the past and the present' with you."

"It seems that Director Li's decision is correct." Wang Xinran said. Before Director Li personally intervened in the matter, the 18th Branch's attitude towards Wu Zhongyuan was to closely monitor Wu Zhongyuan, while Director Li believed that it was a mistake to keep Wu Zhongyuan in the modern age. It is in line with the development of things to send it back to ancient times.

"Let's not discuss these for now," Wu Zhongyuan walked into the stone door, "I'll go in and walk around first to see if the mechanism will be triggered."

"I'll do it." Wang Xinran said.

"I know Qinggong, but you can't run as fast as me." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Tie up the rope. If you encounter danger, we can pull you back." Wang Xinran said.

"Let's forget it. What if it can't catch me but catches the rope?" Wu Zhongyuan started to speed up as he spoke.

The stone room was not big. After a few seconds, Wu Zhongyuan had already turned around and ran out. No mechanism was triggered. To make sure, he ran around in the opposite direction again, but nothing happened.

Then, with the walking tool, I muster up my energy and step on every stone slab, and it will be fine.

After making sure that the mechanism would not be triggered, Wu Zhongyuan waved to the three people outside the door. The three entered the stone chamber, carefully walked to the pit in the center of the stone chamber, and shined a strong flashlight downwards.

Wang Xinran's previous judgment was correct. The depth of this pit is about ten meters, and it is about as high as a three-story building. The space below the pit is much larger than the top. It is an unbuilt pit, and the bottom of the pit is surrounded by It was a pile of thick gray vines, and it was hard to tell which was the trunk and which was the branch. At first glance, it looked like a giant squid.

However, this pile of plants should be in a dormant state at this time, and the stone that Wang Xinran dropped earlier is still on the upper part of the vines.

There is a round hole about the size of a bowl on the earth wall three meters below the hole. There is a metal pipe embedded inside the hole. There are black drip marks on the earth wall below the hole. There may have been black liquid coming from the metal not long ago. Spray out of the tube.

That black liquid should be what awakened the man-eating tree. Its specific composition is unknown. The four of them are not here to do scientific research and have no time to investigate in depth.

"Do you want to go down and block that metal pipe?" Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran tilted his head and looked at him.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "What if liquid sprays out again?"

"What if the man-eating tree wakes up on the way there?" Wang Xinran asked.

"Forget it." Wu Zhongyuan backed down.

After observing, the three of them came to the north stone door, which was also closed. Lu Jiahui took out a claw hammer and knocked it a few times. Wang Xinran raised his hand to stop it, "Wait a minute."

The stone chamber was very quiet. After the knocking stopped, a slight abnormal sound could be vaguely heard coming from the stone door.

Wu Zhongyuan put his ear against the stone door and listened carefully, "It seems like someone is scratching at the door."

Wang Xinran also heard a sound similar to scratching the door, and made a gesture to Lu Jiahui, telling her to continuously tap the Morse code to keep the other party away from the stone door.

A few minutes later, Zhang Shukai was ready and only waited for Wang Xinran's order to detonate the gas cylinder.

Wang Xinran signaled Lu Jiahui to stop knocking, put her ear against the door, and listen carefully to the sounds inside.

Wu Zhongyuan was also doing the same thing. After listening carefully, the two looked at each other. The scratching sound inside continued, and it was more urgent than before.

"Why are you scratching so urgently?" Wu Zhongyuan was confused. The scratching sounds coming from inside were extremely urgent, with almost no intervals.

Wang Xinran frowned and shook his head, "The frequency is so fast, it doesn't look like a human..."
