A depression about five meters wide appeared on the shore of the lake.
At first glance, this depression was not formed naturally, because its shape was a very regular square.
At this time, a large amount of water was continuously being discharged from both sides of the depression, and in the central area of the depression, a figure gradually emerged.
A hole big enough for two people to walk through side by side.
After about twenty minutes, dirty water no longer drained from both sides of the depression, and the circular hole completely appeared in front of us.
This is the drainage hole marked on the machine diagram.
At first I didn't understand the meaning of the word "drainage" until I saw the scene just now.
In fact, where the depression appeared, there was originally a patch of reeds without any abnormalities.
Below the reeds was the mud soaked by water.
Now all the water in the mud has been drained, and the reeds are also crawling on the ground.
I estimate that there should be a large mechanism driven by water power directly under the soil.
This mechanism contains a mud-sucking device that can squeeze out the water in the mud.
The reason why there is such a drainage hole is because During the process of clearing the mud, the pressure plates buried underground are squeezed in all directions.
They were originally fitted together tightly.
With such movement, holes will naturally appear in the middle.
I have to say that Xu Xiazi's attainments in the mechanism technique are quite remarkable.
I estimate that the underground mechanism may be more complicated than the above-ground part.
Although all the water in the mud has been pressed out, the mud will not completely dry out.
Zuo Youdao and I went to the entrance of the cave to have a look and found that the mud at the edge of the hole was still soft and wet.
In addition, the hole was too deep, so we had to You need to hang a steel cable from the hole to get down, but the mud is so soft that you can't use it to fix the climbing nails.
At this time, Sun Luyuan, Li Huaishan, and Liu Shangang also rushed over.
I asked Li Huaishan to search for any heavier stones nearby, and then squatted down and burned the mud around the entrance of the cave with karma fire.
As expected, even if the mud is burned dry, it is still very loose.
Hanging a steel cable on this layer of mud is courting death.
Just at this time, Li Huaishan found a good stone less than 500 meters away from me.
That stone should be the stone left by Blind Man Xu when he built the darkroom.
Although the edges of the stone have been corroded and become more polished, they are still intact.
Traces of manual cutting can be vaguely seen on the stone surface.
The stone was embedded in the mud.
From a distance, it looked like a thin slab surrounded by reeds.
It was not until Li Huaishan dug a trench next to the stone with an engineering shovel that he could see that the thickness of the stone was more than one meter.
I can see all the things Li Huaishan did in the eyes of a ghost.
I called Zuo Youdao and ran to Li Huaishan to check the situation.
Zuo Youdao knocked the stone surface with the hilt of his green steel sword, and then touched the surface of the stone with his hand to estimate the weight of the stone.
It should be between 800 and 900 kilograms.
If he can be moved to the drainage hole, there will definitely be no problem with hanging the steel cable.
It happened that Liu Shangang also came over.
When he heard that the stone weighed nearly a ton, he muttered: "This is too heavy.
We alone may not be able to lift it."
Zuo Youdao raised his head and asked me: "With your strength, you should be able to move it."
I was also a little bit confused: "It's definitely no problem to move it.
The key is that this stone is too big and it's not easy to handle.
You have to help me hold it up later."
Liu Shangang stared at me with his small eyes and looked at me like a fool: "Brother, you took the wrong medicine.
This thing weighs nearly a ton.

How can you possibly move it by yourself?"
Zuo Youdao stood up and said with a smile: "I have fought against Dafei, and his strength is beyond your imagination.
Don't be stunned, hurry up, we have to dig out the stone first."
Liu Shangang still didn't believe it, but Zuo Youdao urged him to work, so he didn't dare to sit idle and quickly pulled out the engineering shovel.
I first used karma fire to burn the mud around the stone to harden it to prevent mud from flowing.
Then everyone worked together to dig a very deep trench around the stone.
Sun Luyuan and Li Huaishan drove steel nails into the stone and wrapped a steel cable around it.
I grabbed the steel cable tightly and struggled to pull the stone to the ground.
When I pulled the stone, Liu Shangang originally wanted to help, but when he saw that no one else had any intention of helping, he stood aside with his hands folded and stared at me with doubts on his face.
Zuo Youdao and the others are right not to help, because my strength and the rhythm of exerting force are different from theirs.
If they come to help, I have to maintain the same rhythm as them.
In that case, my strength will not be fully utilized. .
It wasn't until I dragged the whole stone to the ground that Liu Shangang screamed: "Holy shit, are you still a human?"
I smiled at him and said, "Have you met the second master?"
"I've seen it before, what's wrong?"
"Second Master is more powerful than me."
Originally I said this to be modest, but unexpectedly it triggered a new round of complaints from Liu Shangang: "Can it be the same?
What's the second master's body shape?
What's your body shape?
Damn, the second master's body is like a bear.
You said he is I believe you can lift a tank, but your body is not much different from Liang Houzai, so it is impossible for you to have such great strength."
Zuo Youdao rolled his eyes and said, "Who are you saying is like a bear?
No big or small."
He just wanted to silence Liu Shangang with words.
Fortunately, Liu Shangang was more afraid of him and shut up immediately.
If this guy kept talking, I might have problems with my ears.
As soon as he opened his voice, he would speak like a steel cannon, causing earache.
I don’t know how Zuo Youdao could endure it before.
After that, Zuo Youdao and I didn't waste any time.
I carried the stone on my back, Zuo Youdao supported me on the side, and the two of us worked together to carry the stone toward the drainage hole.
I can only ask Zuo Youdao to help me.
Others coming here are of no use and can easily lead to danger.
My strength is mainly due to my special physique.
Zuo Youdao's strength is also not small.
This is mainly due to the fact that when he was a child, in order to practice finger kung fu, he often used his fingers to pull stone locks weighing 100 kilograms.
In addition, he often Swinging the green steel sword weighing thirty to forty pounds, over time, the strength will be produced.
Let's put it this way: if this guy competes in a strongman competition, he should be able to achieve amazing results in certain events.
With his strength, although he cannot carry such a heavy stone, if I lose strength and the stone falls, he can push the stone away with a strong force.
If you replace it with Liu Shangang, Li Huaishan, and Sun Luyuan, they will help me.
Stone, if the stone falls, I will have to burn paper money for them today next year.
This is no joke.
When we came to the drainage hole, Zuo Youdao and I first unloaded the stones.
Then I drove steel nails on the top of the stone.
Zuo Youdao hung up the steel cables and ducked into the hole.
He likes to take the lead, but I don't care where I am, it doesn't matter whether I'm in front or behind.

Just when Zuo Youdao was about to step into the cave entrance, Liu Shangang suddenly asked: "You really don't need me to follow you?"
Zuo Youdao nodded: "Dafei and I are enough.
You can wait outside."
Say it, Zuo Youdao changed and jumped into the hole.
I gave Li Huaishan and Sun Luyuan a smile respectively and followed them.
When Zuo Youdao said the words "wait outside" just now, not only Liu Shangang, but also Li Huaishan and Sun Luyuan looked ugly.
At that moment, they seemed to feel that Zuo Youdao and I had abandoned them.
In fact, I don't take them with me, I just don't want them to be in danger, there is no other meaning.
After sliding down the steel cable for nearly twenty meters, Zuo Youdao finally landed with his feet on the ground.
Then he reached back and helped me off the steel cable.
Before going down the cave, Zuo Youdao lit up the flashlight and pinned it on the strap of his backpack.
At this time, he shrugged his shoulders and shined a light into the darkness, and said to me: "I have been in the industry for so long, and I have never interacted with Hou Zai and Shou Zai.
People other than monkeys went to the grave together.”
I smiled: "The people around me change often, but Ergou has never left me."
"Who is Ergou?"
"Li Ergou, Li Huaishan."
While talking, Zuo Youdao shined his flashlight on a relief.
Now the two of us are located in a tomb passage with a steep slope.
The stone walls on both sides of the tomb passage are covered with reliefs.
However, most of the reliefs have been corroded into disgrace.
In many places, traces of peeling off stone flakes can even be seen.
Only the stone walls are carved with reliefs.
The small piece of relief illuminated by Zuo Youdao is complete.
It is a statue carved on a stone wall.
It looks a bit like Buddha, but if you look closely, you will find that it is very different from an ordinary Buddha.
The biggest difference is the rosette under the statue.
In Buddhism, the petals of the lotus seat are all upward.
The petals at the bottom are inclined downward, and the petals in the upper part are upward.
But on the rosette of this statue, all the petals are downward.
It's like holding a lotus flower upside down on the ground.
Zuo Youdao whispered: "It's not a Buddha statue."
I nodded: "It's just that the facial features and carving techniques are similar to Buddha statues, but looking at the rosette, it should be a unique deity in Muni religion."
As mentioned before, Muniism is Mingjiao.
Zuo Youdao grabbed the flashlight on his shoulder and let the light shine straight forward, while asking me: "How much do you know about Mingjiao?"
"I have looked up some relevant information before, but I can't find much."
Zuo Youdao nodded and walked forward.
The ground is slippery, and the two of us must be as careful as possible to avoid falling suddenly, and then sliding all the way down the slope.
Blind Xu is good at arranging mechanisms.
No one can tell what we will encounter along the way.
If Losing control of the body could lead to life or death.
But Zuo Youdao and I were obviously overly worried.
Not long after walking, I saw a very large stone frame falling in front of me.
There were wheel grooves for hidden pulleys at the bottom of the frame.
However, due to the age, the metal wheels had long been corroded.
It was only after I saw this object that I remembered that this was originally a passage used to transport food underground.

There was no way that Blind Man Xu could arrange a fatal mechanism here
