After the wall tiles were lifted, a dark round hole was revealed in the wall.
The diameter of the hole is almost the same as that of a basketball.
It seems completely dark inside, but if you look carefully, you can still vaguely see a little bit of metal reflection.
As soon as I saw this thing, I immediately realized that it was the firing path of the dark crossbow, and the metallic luster was reflected from the crossbow.
With such a wide launch path, it might be a siege crossbow hidden inside.
This thing is no joke.
At such a close distance, the crossbow flies very fast.
In addition, the siege crossbow is so powerful that the crossbow weighs more than a hundred kilograms.
Once the crossbow is fired, , the impact is so powerful that even if an ordinary person is hit by it, let alone being shot directly, it will be a serious injury to the muscles and bones.
Lao Zuo obviously realized that the situation was not good and immediately shouted: "Flash" The word "flash" was not even fully uttered when I heard the rapid trembling sound of a big string coming from the wall.
Then, I saw a huge shadow rushing out of the wall and pressing towards me.
Come over.
The speed was too fast, and it was impossible to make large-scale dodge movements.
In desperation, I could only use my energy and throw a front hook.
This blow was actually very risky, because I couldn't predict the timing at all, and I couldn't be sure whether my fist would hit the crossbow.
Almost at the same time I took action, Lao Zuo also raised his green steel sword.
Then there was a muffled sound that mixed with the sound of metal hitting the stone and the punch hitting the stone.
Lao Zuo's sword was slightly faster than my punch.
The green steel sword first hit the metal head of the crossbow, and then my fist hit the crossbow shaft made of stone.
Under the combined impact of the two forces, the crossbow immediately deviated from the trajectory and rushed diagonally above our heads.
However, during the process of changing the direction of the crossbow, the crossbow rod still hit my chest.
At that time, I felt a sensation in my throat.
Yitian almost spurted blood.
He couldn't withstand such a strong impact and took several steps back.
Lao Zuo came over in one stride and supported me.
The stone hall we were in was originally open to the air, but after the crossbow flew upwards for more than three meters, it seemed to be blocked by some force and fell down at an extremely fast speed.
At that time, I saw that the crossbow was suspended in the air for a short time, and then fell down at a faster speed, as if it was ejected back from a spring bed.
After the crossbow fell, it happened to be carried on the shoulders of several Zha dolls and did not fall directly to the ground.
After those Zha dolls suffered this sudden heavy pressure, most of their bodies were compressed and deformed, and some of them were even loaded.
The organs were directly squeezed out.
"How is it?"
Lao Zuo asked me.
I tried to shake my body and said, "It's okay."
While I was talking, my dad was also rushing over.
I quickly waved my hand to stop him: "Don't move.
There may be hidden triggers on the ground."
When I said this, those who originally wanted to move did not dare to move.
They were all like sculptures, and even their upper bodies did not dare to move at will.
In fact, I don’t know why I made myself so stiff, forget it.
At this time, Lao Zuo lit up his flashlight and lit the crossbow.
Only the tip of the crossbow was coated with a layer of bronze to enhance its hardness and impact.
The entire crossbow shaft was made of bluestone.
At this time, there were many thin cuts on the surface of the crossbow made of stone.
The cuts obviously appeared on the crossbow just now, because fine sawdust can still be seen on the edges of some cuts.
Lao Zuo and I simultaneously remembered the scene when the crossbow was lost and bounced back.

We raised our heads together and looked up into the sky.
Lao Zuo also picked up a flashlight and shined light on the top of the stone hall.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, thin strips of light were reflected above the stone hall.
There, there is a net raised with thin threads.
Those threads are so thin that even ghost eyes cannot detect them.
I am afraid that in the contemporary era, only nanomaterials can produce such thin yet strong silk threads.
I heard Lao Zuo say three words from the side: "Diamond Thread."
I glanced at Lao Zuo: "Have you seen this thing?"
Lao Zuo said: "I saw relevant records in the outer pavilion of Jihunzhuang.
Diamond thread was a special kind of vegetation that originally grew in Xiaolongtan.
In the early years, it was often mistaken for dragon whiskers.
However, after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this strange vegetation It’s extinct, I didn’t expect to see it here again.”
I admire Lao Zuo's ability to popularize science, but now is not the time to study hard and make progress every day.
Lao Zuo held a flashlight and scanned the surrounding walls: "There should be other dark crossbows."
I nodded and signaled Lao Zuo not to move, and then I opened my eyes wide and carefully observed the layout of the mechanisms in the stone hall.
In fact, just by observing it like this, I can't see any problems at all.
After all, the dark crossbow is hidden in the wall, and my ghost eyes don't have the ability to see through.
At this time, I remembered the sound of gears turning under the ground.
Judging from the previous sounds, Lao Zuo and I should be in the center of the entire gear array.
Thinking of this, I immediately pointed to the ground and made a "cut" gesture.
Lao Zuo understood immediately and used his green steel sword to cut an eighty centimeter square hole in the floor.
Fortunately, this place is indeed the center of the gear array.
Under this square cutout, large sections of precision gear arrays are arranged together, and some gold wires used as connecting devices can also be seen in between. and valves to hold the gears in place.
Probably to prevent oxidation, these things are simply made of gold.
A rough estimate shows that the weight of gold must be between three and four hundred kilograms.
Three or four years ago, I would have forgotten all about seeing so much gold, but now these things can no longer arouse my interest.
The gears made by the ancients are actually different from the gears we are familiar with today.
This kind of gear looks more like a waterwheel in the early years.
It has many and very narrow teeth, and the fit between the teeth is not very high.
It is precisely because the fit is slightly lower that this gear array is very sensitive.
Sometimes you don't touch the trigger, and just a strong vibration can activate the mechanism.
It was estimated that the metal door panel caused a shock and opened the lock of a certain gear, causing the concealed crossbow to fire suddenly.
I looked at the gear array repeatedly, and sure enough I found that the lock next to a small gear was half pried open.
Unfortunately, it was only half pried and not fully opened.
Otherwise, more than one crossbow would be lost after being fired.
Then I counted carefully and figured out that there were a total of twenty-four pinions of the same size.
Next to each pinion, there was a lock that was no bigger than a little finger.
The twenty-four pinions are arranged according to the orientation of the Twenty-Four Mountains.
There must be the same number of triggers in the stone hall, and they are also arranged around the Stone Hall according to the orientation of the Twenty-Four Mountains.
I took some bearings and got a rough idea of where the triggers would be placed.
This estimate doesn't matter, but I was actually scared to death.
Liu Shangang, Li Huaishan, and Huang Yuzhong were all standing very close to the trigger, and the mechanism would be triggered if they were not careful.
I quickly took out the tools and jammed all the locks, and then I called the three of them and asked them to come over a little bit.
At first, when it was said that the ancestral witch wanted to use the infant spirit in the soul-eating body to reduce our luck, I didn't particularly care.
Now that I think about it, it's a good thing that my dad came in time, otherwise it would have been really bad.

That is to say, they were lucky.
Li Huaishan and the three of them did not come into direct contact with the trigger.
One missing crossbow almost killed me.
If four crossbows were lost together, I guess I would be sitting in the underworld now, and Lord Yama talks about life ideals.
Li Huaishan and the others came a little closer.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and then estimated the position of the concealed crossbow just now.
The siege crossbow is quite large.
It is impossible to place twenty-four chapters of crossbows in such a small stone hall at the same time.
In addition, the crossbow just missed and was fired from the stem position, so I speculated that there should be four secret crossbows. to eight.
If four crossbows fire at once, you can barely avoid it if you are lucky, but if eight crossbows fire at once, the gods will have to rest in such a small space.
Fortunately, a dark crossbow had been launched in advance just now.
Even if there were eight crossbows, we could still find a blind spot due west that could not be covered if the crossbow was lost.
Thinking of this, I immediately greeted everyone and walked gently towards the west wall.
When we arrived at the base of the west wall, I first asked everyone to hug each other in a circle, then spread out the Yang line and invested the Bagua money into the trigger closest to us.
The so-called trigger is actually a pressure plate embedded in the ground.
It is perfectly disguised to look like a stone brick.
If I hadn't calculated its position in advance, even if I looked closely, I wouldn't be able to see any flaws. . pong Bagua Qian hit the stone brick hard, and the brick surface was cracked because of too much force.
Immediately afterwards, seven stone bricks were lifted up from the surrounding walls, and the sound of rapid vibrating strings could be heard.
All of a sudden, seven crossbows were fired, and in my ears I could hear the sound of broken robes and pieces of meat flying to the ground, and the sound of broken rocks exploding after the crossbows hit the wall.
Flesh and dust flew together, and the visibility of the naked eye suddenly shrank to about three meters.
But with my ghost eyes, I could still see a crossbow crashing directly into the hall door.
The moment the hall door was shattered, the net made of diamond threads whirred and swung towards the door.
The net covered a huge area, and the diamond wires were extremely sharp.
If we hadn't hid on the west wall in advance, we would have been cut into pieces.
Fortunately, I didn't touch that door just now.
It was definitely luck to save a life.
No, I have to find a Taoist temple later to perform rituals for the infant spirit that I suppressed.
Luck is such a thing, sometimes it is really impossible to live without it.
When everything returned to calm, Lao Zuo let out a long breath as if he were surviving a disaster, but what he said had nothing to do with the four words "surviving a disaster": "Let's run to this stone hall and fight to the end."
What is it for?”
Why did we come in following the footsteps of our predecessors?
Isn't it just to find those people that we came here?
But the question is, what about those people:
