Origin Chapter 98: What is intended

After Zhang Shukai finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Ying and others have been trapped for a long time. The longer the delay, the less chance they have of surviving. It took a lot of time, but he still had concerns, "Can you control the power of using this thing to fry it?"

Zhang Shukai said, "The power of the explosion can be controlled by adjusting the air pressure in the bottle, but the effect is definitely not as good as the precise explosion."

Wu Zhongyuan didn't ask any more questions. Zhang Shukai is an expert in this field, and he doesn't need to worry about these questions.

The breathing device is still connected to the gas cylinder and needs to be disassembled. Zhang Shukai said to Lv Jiahui while disassembling, "Try to notify the people inside and let them hide away."

"The stone gate is closed so tightly that they may not be able to hear the outside voice." Lv Jiahui said.

Wang Xinran was helping to disassemble the respirator. After Lv Jiahui finished speaking, she said, "They can't hear the voice, but the knocking can always be heard. Use a hammer to knock out the Morse code."

"The Morse Code is generally heard..."

Wang Xinran interrupted Lv Jiahui, "Are they ordinary people? They don't even understand Morse code, so how can they be spies?"

Lv Jiahui nodded and knocked on the stone gate with a hammer. Her specialty is underwater archaeology, but her job is a special agent of the 18th Bureau, and Morse code is naturally memorized by heart.

The two brought back two sets of respirators, but Zhang Shukai only used one gas bottle. After adjusting the air pressure in the bottle with the barometer, he placed the gas bottle horizontally just below the connection between the two stone gates, and then placed the stone chamber Pieces of the stone box and stone platform were moved over and pressed on the gas cylinder.

Physics is not Wu Zhongyuan's strong point, but he still understands the basic knowledge. Zhang Shukai's move is to adjust the impact angle of the blast wave.

At this time, Jiahui Lv had typed the Morse code several times, but there was no response from the stone chamber.

"Stop knocking, put on a gas mask." Wang Xinran said to Lv Jiahui.

Lu Jiahui stopped beating, put down her backpack, took out a gas mask and put it on.

Wang Xinran threw a gas mask over, Wu Zhongyuan reached out and took it, but he had never worn such a thing before and didn't know how to wear it.

Seeing this situation, Wang Xinran glanced at him and came over to help him put it on. He acted very rudely.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that she was angry, so he held back and kept silent. For the past ten minutes, he had been thinking about Lv Jiahui's words. If Wang Xinran was really jealous, it meant that Wang Xinran liked him, but Wang Xinran didn't seem to have it before. The specific performance in this regard, but it is true that she hates Zhao Ying deeply. Before, he always thought that this disgust was because of different positions. In fact, until now, he is not sure that Wang Xinran's disgust for Zhao Ying stems from jealousy and not because of different positions. .

With doubts in my heart, I went forward and recalled that Wang Xinran's attitude towards him was not very friendly from beginning to end, at least not very polite, but outside the underground palace where the great wizard slept, two staff from the Eighteenth Bureau pretending to be excavator drivers had to confront him. He was arrested, but Wang Xinran was very eager to stop it, and even fired a warning shot. It was precisely because he helped him escape that Wang Xinran was punished and transferred from his post.

He had always thought that Wang Xinran did this because she was a good person who kept her promises, but he had always overlooked a very important point, that is, Wang Xinran is an official person, and the execution of tasks should not be subject to personal likes and dislikes. Influence.

While Wu Zhongyuan was in a daze, Wang Xinran was talking with Zhang Shukai, and then measured the length of the stone chamber, seemingly choosing the angle and distance of the shot.

The two seemed to have encountered some difficulties. After a while, Wang Xinran rushed over to Wu Zhongyuan, "Give me the gun."

"Huh?" Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head to look at her.

"Give me the gun in the bag." Wang Xinran went to zip up Wu Zhongyuan's backpack.

"Don't you have a gun?" Wu Zhongyuan said, wearing a gas mask and talking, but in a low voice.

"Our guns can't blow gas cylinders outside the explosion range." Wang Xinran gave Wu Zhongyuan a look of contempt again.

Wu Zhongyuan stood still, Wang Xinran found the pistol and threw it to Zhang Shukai with his backhand.

Wu Zhongyuan's pistol was given to him by Zhao Ying. It should be an imported product. It may be a little more powerful than a domestic pistol. The four exited the stone room, put on gas masks, and Zhang Shukai shot sideways.

The gas cylinder exploded, and the sound of the explosion was smaller than Wu Zhongyuan imagined, and it was very dull. However, due to the relatively airtightness of the stone chamber, the air waves caused by the explosion had nowhere to vent. Several stone gates were knocked open.

When the dust settled, the four of them re-entered the stone room, only to see a gap was blasted under the closed stone door. Through the gap, you could see the top stone above the ground. Axle, much like a seesaw.

"The air is fine." Wang Xinran was the first to take down the gas mask.

The three took off their gas masks one after another, and removed the gravel and other objects accumulated outside the door. Wang Xinran reclined and tilted his head, looking in through the gap in the stone door. "It's very dark inside, and there is no blue light."

After Wang Xinran finished speaking, Lv Jiahui handed a small flashlight with strong light, Wang Xinran stretched out his hand to take it, and lit it inside, "It's also a stone room, about the same size as the previous ones. There is also a stone platform near the door. There are a lot of broken wood and bullet casings scattered on the ground, and they are not here."

After a brief observation, Wang Xinran stood up, stretched out his hand to push Shimen, Wu Zhongyuan and Lv Jiahui stepped forward to help, Zhang Shukai pulled out his pistol, held both pistols in his hand, and was alert.

After the stone door was pushed open, Wang Xinran used a flashlight to illuminate and observe again. Wu Zhongyuan had night vision and could see the situation in the stone room without the need for a flashlight. He first looked at the top of the stone room, followed by the three stone rooms before. The difference is that the unilluminated green fluorite on the top of the stone chamber was not destroyed, but was not placed in the first place.

There are many bullet casings on the ground, and there are signs of explosion. The stone slab in the center of the stone chamber was blown up, revealing a two-meter-square pothole. Due to the angle, the specific depth of the pothole cannot be seen.

In addition, there are a lot of wood scattered in the stone room, not the wood fragments, but the roots of the trees. Those were about the same thickness as a finger, some two or three meters long, and some tens of centimeters short. Some were broken by bullets, while others were flat and should have been cut by a knife.

It wasn't just the weird tree roots that made the four of them nervous, but also the mottled blood on the ground, which meant that someone was injured and that the owner of the tomb was no longer joking with the crowd.

After observing the situation in the stone room, Wang Xinran crouched down, picked up a piece of gravel and threw it at the hole in the middle of the stone room. The echo returned after two seconds. It was not the crisp sound of touching the stone surface, nor the sound of water, but It's a relatively dull bass, and it should have touched something that wasn't very stiff after falling.

"The depth is between eight and ten meters," Wang Xinran said sternly. "There are probably plants such as man-eating trees growing in the pit."

Wu Zhongyuan did not question Wang Xinran's judgment, because the five elements of the wound door belong to wood, and it is not surprising that there is a man-eating tree hidden at the bottom of the pit, but what he doesn't understand is how the man-eating tree can survive underground for so many years.

Wang Xinran moved the flashlight to shine again, "According to the blood, they went inside."

"Why did they close the stone gate?" Wu Zhongyuan was puzzled. The stone gate to the north of the stone room was also closed.

With all his concentration, Wang Xinran also forgot to be angry with Wu Zhongyuan, and said casually, "It may also be the one who escaped before."

"What's the motive?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Probably to block the pursuers." Wang Xinran guessed.

Zhang Shukai said next to him, "The blood has not turned black, it will not exceed twelve hours."

Wang Xinran nodded and asked for directions again.

"You stay outside, I'll go in." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"You haven't seen it yet, he is serious," Wang Xinran said. "Don't act rashly until you find out the situation."

"The area from the door to the stone platform should be safe and won't trigger the trap." Wu Zhongyuan stepped into the stone room.

Wang Xinran also followed, Zhang Shukai shouted "Hello", and when Wu Zhongyuan turned around, he threw the gun in his left hand to him. Gotta blow up.

This stone platform is the same size and style as the previous stone platform. The stone platform is covered with thick dust, indicating that Zhao Ying and others have not approached the stone platform at all before, and they may think that they do not touch the stone platform. It won't trigger the organ, but it turns out that they think the question is simple, and even if they don't want to be rewarded, they must answer the question.

There are forty-two round holes on the stone platform. Wipe off the dust on the stone platform, and the text on the stone platform is revealed. There are twelve characters on the stone platform, corresponding to the twelve round holes. .

"Why is there no question?" Wang Xinran wondered.

"No question, he is asking me what the names of the two wizards are." Wu Zhongyuan reached out and grabbed the stone bowl, and there were indeed two stone **** inside.

"Why did he ask such a question?" Wang Xinran doubted.

"Because only I know the names of the two wizards, he did this to confirm my identity," Wu Zhongyuan said.

At this moment, Lv Jiahui said from the door, "I figured it out. The top door stone here has two tenons, one alive and one dead. It takes two openings and closings to completely lock it."

"What is the purpose of his use of this capstone?" Wang Xinran asked.

"The only function of the top door stone of this structure is to leave an opportunity to open after it is closed, and it can't be opened again after the second closure." Lv Jiahui said.

Wang Xinran nodded to Lv Jiahui, then turned to look at Wu Zhongyuan, "Are you sure he is asking you the names of the two wizards?"

"Yes, because both of their names are in these twelve characters." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Why did he do this?" Wang Xinran still couldn't understand.

Wu Zhongyuan couldn't figure out why. After a brief pondering, he put the two stone **** into the two round holes.

The stone ball was put in, and the vibration came again, but this time the vibration did not come from the middle area of ​​the stone chamber, but from the stone platform itself. There is a stone pier supporting the table top. There is a square groove in the middle of the stone pier, and a small stone box is placed in the middle of the groove.

After looking at Wang Xinran, Wu Zhongyuan picked it up and opened it, only to see a white stone inside the stone box.

"Is it a spirit stone?" Wang Xinran was shocked.

"Yes!"
