Chapter 2023 Bronze Mechanism
Toast Bear led two teams of more than twenty experts into the canyon, while Shakhan led others to follow and coordinate above the canyon, while observing the appearance of the light spirit.
After about twenty minutes, the first white light spot that entered the field of vision of everyone in the canyon appeared. He pointed out the direction of the light spot to the toast bear in the canyon. Then more stars appeared in the valley. Shakhan glanced at the sky. Apart from the stars and the Milky Way, there was not even a crescent moon.
Jennifer said: "It seems that the light spirit in the valley has nothing to do with whether there is a moon in the sky."
Alice Huer said: "Let's go see if there is any light on the black wall. The spirit appears, Boss Shakhan, please remember the location where the light spirit first appeared."
"Be careful, there is danger of sending off flares."
Jennifer rode the dragon, Alice, Lucas, Command, and Rourke rode the ferodon and the desert doodle. Towards the afternoon spotted the Black Wall near the canyon.
After running for more than ten minutes, they arrived. At this time, many white light spirits appeared in the canyon, but the number was not particularly large. The area of the canyon where they were located was very rare. There were only some wandering ones. A few seemed to have flown from elsewhere.
The Yaron lowered its flying height, circled around the black wall, and returned to the valley bank. Alice had just arrived, turned over and jumped off the back of the ferocious beast, and Jennifer pointed: "Alice, look, the words on the black wall are glowing."
On the black wall, the white words flicker on and off, exuding a faint shimmer, and they last for about half a minute. Right and left, very regular. Alice said: "I guess the black wall is related to the appearance of the light spirit."
"Well, I agree with what you are thinking." Jennifer said: "Look, the light spirits in the canyon are wandering aimlessly now, and there seems to be no new light spirits in the distance. These should be the Tusi Bear team. The reason why these things are trapped in the valley is obviously the purpose of the people who designed and made them. "It exists to protect the canyon."
The canyon is quite large and has many forks. Alice flew into the air in a Yeck balloon to see clearly the directions in the areas where the light spirits were most present. The wind in the canyon was strong, and Yeke could not maintain stability, so he had to summon Gupra out again.
After returning to the camp, Alice, Jennifer and others drew a sketch of the main areas where the light spirits appeared, and compared them with the areas remembered by Tusi Xiong and Shakhan. Originally, they wanted to wait for the news of the light spirit and then try again to find out all the specific directions of the light spirit's appearance. However, because they did not sleep well the night before, everyone was very tired from the heat and sand, so they decided to find out the known places tomorrow. Let’s talk about it later.
They had a better rest that night and were in good spirits the next day. After casually drinking some porridge, Tusi Xiong and Shakehan immediately took people to the valley to find the area where the light spirit first appeared. After everyone carefully searched, the covered black walls were pulled out from the cliff. Each black wall was the same as the first one found, with a transparent film covering the wall and small white characters. Engraved, the only difference is the white area in the middle. Each white area is a white moon, but the size of the moon is different, which should represent the different shapes of the moon at different nights. In this way, if you include the completely dark moonless nights, there are at least thirty black walls here.
It's a pity that they didn't remember the direction where all the light spirits first appeared last night. The rest had to wait until tonight to observe. Now they can only look for it based on their feelings.
The afternoon sun was scorching hot, and exposure to the sun made people listless. Flying Man Zac kicked a broken bone away from the ground, squinted at the sun in the sky, and cursed: "Damn it, why is it so hot? He's already gone. It’s a shady place.”
Munch let out a long sigh. Hot, said: "Find a tomb to rest, and go back in the evening. Blindly looking for the black wall is not only laborious, but also inefficient."
"Anyway, it's not us who want to excavate the ancient tomb, let them do it themselves Just worry about it." Stuer rested his head on the back of his head and kicked away a broken bone on the ground. Together with Bloodbeard Stone Tower, the four of them agreed to rest.
There is not much else in this canyon, but there are many tombs, and they are all empty. The inside of the tomb is much cooler than the outside. A few people found a newly discovered empty tomb. The cold air made people feel refreshed. The four of them took off their leather water bags and water bottles that were hot in the sun, hoping to put them here to cool down before drinking.
The four of them sat and rested for a while, their eyes adjusting to the darkness in the tomb. Zach found some broken bones on the ground in the middle of the tomb hall. He thought of the bones that the black fly Omar had picked off from the mummy yesterday. The rawhide boots were identified by Tyson and the knowledgeable people in the team as a good junior treasure. This made him energetic, climbed up with great effort, patted the dust on his buttocks, and walked towards the broken bones.
"What are you doing?" Shita asked.
Zach walked among the broken bones and looked for it: "Let me see if there is anything good."
"Be careful not to hit any traps." Munch reminded. Zach is not worried. All the tombs in the valley have been robbed. The opportunities in the tombs have either been destroyed or have been triggered or invalidated. There were not many bones on the ground. They were all broken bones and scattered very scattered. At first, Zach was just looking for anything left behind, but he soon noticed that the cross-sections of these broken bones were very flat. They were not broken by hissing but by being bitten. What was cut off.
After a while, Munch asked him if he had discovered anything. Zach said: "There is a floor tile here that seems different. Come and take a look."
Three people walked over to take a look. In fact, the floor tiles in the entire tomb hall are the same, and the one Zach found is no different. The only difference is that the one he found has gaps with the surrounding bricks, while the other surrounding floor tiles are perfectly matched, almost. No gaps in sight.
Munch said: "Isn't it because the spelling is not strict? Which house's bricks will have no errors? Even a fingernail can't fit into this gap."
Shita pressed the floor tiles with his hand. After pressing it, the floor tiles didn't move at all. It didn't look like there was a mechanism at all. However, he touched it with his hand and brushed off a lot of dust, revealing very light white lines on the floor tiles that were very close to the color of the floor tiles and could not be seen without looking carefully.
The four people studied it and found that this was an ordinary white pattern, nothing special, but it was not a flaw in the manufacture of the tomb bricks, but more like a deliberate mark, because other tomb bricks nearby did not have such patterns. White lines.
Just when they thought there was nothing special, Stuer found another such tomb brick some distance away, and then found two more. They found that the four tomb bricks were located at the four corners of a square, with exactly the same distance from each other. Apart from these four bricks, no other similar floor tiles were found.
This time they felt that the four brick doors must have some purpose, but what? They tried to pry open the floor tiles with knives, but they couldn't pry them off, nor did they step or knock on them. However, when four people accidentally stepped on four floor tiles at the same time, the ground shook, and all the floor tiles in the square center area lifted up and slid outward. , and a bronze square platform is ready to be raised from under the bricks. The four people were startled, and they retreated before they could see clearly. As they retreated, the bronze square platform that was about to rise sank back, and the floor tiles of the tomb hall were closed again.
The four of them got together and you looked at me and I looked at you. After a while, they found that there was no danger. They discussed and opened the mechanism to have a look, but before that, they all summoned the guardians.
The four of them found the square bricks and stood up again. After a few seconds, the floor of the tomb hall shook again. The mechanism was reopened. The bronze square platform about 7 meters in length was slowly lifted out of the ground. Munch , Shita and others all widened their eyes in surprise.
The base of this bronze square platform is not high, about 45 centimeters. On the base is indeed a huge bronze mechanism. The largest ones on the mechanism are three erected circular rail-type bronze rings. These three bronze rings There are precise scales on them. Then hundreds of bronze beads of different sizes floated on the bronze base. After the bronze beads floated, they happened to be placed within the three copper rails, and then they became motionless in the sky. In addition, there are four bronze figures squatting or standing on the four corners of the bronze seat. They have different postures but the same appearance. They hold weapons in their hands and look fierce, which is quite eerie and terrifying.
At this time, the four of them felt that the square bricks under their feet were extracting their magic power, but the amount extracted was not very large. Presumably it was to continue to support the existence of the bronze seat.
"Let me go, what kind of mechanism is this?" Flying Man Zac raised his head, and the four people looked at it stupidly. Munch wanted to take a closer look at the bronze mechanism, but when he moved, the mechanism sank again.
At this time, a little bald man walked in with a few people outside the tomb. The bald little G asked: "We heard some noise here outside. Is it you who caused it?"
Zha Ke told him about the bronze mechanism.
Little G said: "There is still such a thing." He immediately directed his men to the location of the four tomb bricks, and sure enough, a bronze platform was raised. A few of them looked around the bronze mechanism platform twice curiously, but they didn't want to understand what this thing was used for. However, they soon discovered that the bronze beads floating in the air happened to be the Sand God constellation and star map from a frontal perspective. They had seen this constellation map so many times recently that it was difficult not to remember it. live. On the bronze pedestal, in addition to some half-exposed bronze gears and empty nests containing bronze beads, there are also 8 bronze beads placed at the front of the front of the bronze pedestal.
Little G of the dwarf tribe put the telescopic spear in his hand on his back, jumped up on the pedestal and took a look. He found that except for the outermost and largest copper rail of the three copper rails, the other two could be fixed. Rotate, and you can also play horizontally. He crossed his arms and said: "According to what I have learned from following Tyson for several years, this thing should be a star axis, an instrument related to stargazing. However, this star axis is not used to compare changes in the stars, but It’s the mechanism code. I guess if you unlock the code above, you’ll be able to open something, which may be related to the sixth tomb we’re looking for.”
