When I saw this stone wall suddenly appearing in front of me, my whole heart felt as if I had suddenly fallen into a puddle of ice, and I felt chilled both inside and outside.

However, I soon discovered that this wall was not as smooth and flat as the previous stone walls of the corridor, but was filled with various patterns carved on it.

I quickly scanned the stone wall with my flashlight and found that these figures were: horse, cow, dragon, chicken, pig, pheasant, dog, and sheep.

Each animal is carved on an independent stone brick and distributed on the stone wall in the form of Bagua graphics. In the middle of these animals is a blooming eight-petal mandala flower.

And just when I was carefully observing the wall in front of me with a flashlight, Xiong Ming next to me suddenly pushed me and shouted: "Hu Tian, ​​why are you so dazed? Are those bugs catching up with you? There is no way out now.

, what should we do? Should we just wait here to die? Or should we fight back without doing anything else? Grandma, we can’t just wait here to die!"

I ignored Xiong Ming and continued to shine the flashlight on the stone wall in front of me.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Xiong Ming thought I was scared out of my mind. He raised his hand and was about to slap me. He kept saying, "Hu Tian, ​​you better say something! Are you scared out of your mind?"

I saw Xiong Ming lift up the palm that looked like a cattail leaf fan when he was talking, and said hurriedly: "When will you learn to be more civilized? Why do you always slap your hand when you talk?"

Seeing me speaking, Xiong Ming slowly lowered his raised palm and said loudly: "You kid suddenly stopped moving when you looked at this stone wall. I thought you were stupid! Who knew you were stupid?"

You can even speak human language!"

I ignored Xiong Ming's complaint and said seriously: "This is not a stone wall, but a stone gate."

Xiong Ming said in surprise: "What? Is this a stone gate?"

I nodded and said, "That's right! I think I should be able to open it. If you deal with those bugs alone, how long can you probably last?"

Xiong Ming thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "I think it will only take a minute or two at most!"

I hesitated for a moment, then said, "That's enough!"

When Xiong Ming heard what I said, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

Then he picked up the aluminum flashlight in his hand and began to kill the green snails and spotted centipedes that rushed up first.

After Xiong Ming rushed out, I no longer cared about how tragic the battlefield behind me was. Even if some sticky liquid stumps occasionally splashed into my face, I didn't care at all. I just let my heart sink.

Let Hou focus all his attention on the stone door in front of him.

I observed for a while and found that the stones carved with animal figures on the stone door were not flat. There was a slight gap between each stone and the surrounding stones. It seemed that they could be pulled out or pushed.

Thinking of this, I stretched out my hand and gently pulled the nearest stone with a dragon head engraved on it. Sure enough, the stone with the dragon head engraved on it was pulled by me without much effort.

Out of one section.

And as I pulled out the stone engraved with the shape of a dragon's head, a "click" sound was heard as the metal rubbed against each other.

When I heard this voice, I couldn't help but be shocked, and then shouted: "Xiong Ming, be careful! There is a trap! Get down quickly!"

Just before I finished speaking, countless black shadows shot out from the stone walls on both sides of the corridor, surrounded by strong winds.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of iron arrows came straight towards Xiong Ming and me. We were so frightened that we couldn't even care about those disgusting green snails. We shrunk our necks and fell to the ground. There were several small ones.

The short-arm-length crossbow arrows even flew close to my scalp. I was so frightened that I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. I kept chanting in my heart: "Amitabha, God bless you!"

Xiong Ming was also rolling around on the other side and scolded: "Hu Tian, ​​what did you touch? Didn't you agree to open the door? Why did it turn into a thousand arrows piercing the heart? Did you want to kill me?

ah?"

I also cursed: "Shut the hell up! I just touched it lightly. Who knew there was such a deadly thing in this place?"

As soon as I finished speaking, a heartbreaking scream came from Xiong Ming's side.

"Are you okay, kid?" I heard Xiong Ming scream, and I hurriedly shined my flashlight to see what happened to this guy.

But after sweeping the flashlight over, it was discovered that he had been shot on the outside of his thigh by a gun. Blood spurted out immediately, attracting the saliva of countless green snails and centipedes.

However, fortunately, the arrow rain did not last long. After the bursts of "ding-dong, ding-dong" sounds, the entire corridor returned to the silence it had been before.

Seeing that there were no more crossbow arrows flying out from both sides of the stone wall, I quickly climbed up from the ground, crushing to death seven or eight large green snails that were trying to crawl towards me. Disgusting dark red mucus splashed everywhere.

But at this time, I didn't have the time to worry about any of this. I just focused on studying the mechanism on the stone gate.

Not long after, I discovered that the stones carved with animal shapes on the stone gate were not randomly placed in a haphazard manner, but were arranged in a well-proportioned order according to a certain hexagram.

When I thought of the word "Hexagram", my eyes couldn't help but light up, and I sighed in my heart: "That's right! It's the Hexagram! I remember that when I was very young, my grandfather once mentioned to me that in the Bagua

If calculated by directions, Qian is the horse, Kun is the ox, Zhen is the dragon, Xun is the chicken, Kan is the pig, Li is the pheasant, Gen is the dog, and Dui is the sheep.

.Among these eight animals, except dragons and pheasants, the other six animals have a common attribute, that is, they are all domestic animals, and are called "six animals". And the hexagram of these "six animals" is

Lei Shui Jie Hexagram, if you change them into numbers, their order is...two...seven...four...seven...seven...six..."

The moment that string of numbers appeared in my mind, I couldn't help but be shocked. I shouted in my heart: "What? Why is it this number again? Isn't it just the number of the confidential file?"

But this idea only appeared in my mind for less than a second, and was immediately interrupted by Xiong Ming's painful wail.

I shook my head vigorously, trying to get rid of those useless thoughts from my mind. After a while, I took a long breath, then stretched out my hand and slowly pushed away the stone brick with the pheasant carved on it.

Go in.

There was just a "click" sound, and the stone brick with the pheasant carved on it seemed to be embedded in a certain card slot, and it suddenly fit perfectly with the original stone door.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Then I reached out and pushed the second stone engraved with a horse, and then the stone engraved with a dog...

In this way, I pushed or pulled the stones in front of me step by step into their original positions.

But this time, I did not touch the mechanism in the corridor. As the last stone carved with a pig shape was pushed in, the stone wall in front of me suddenly made a clicking sound.

Immediately afterwards, the thick stone door slowly lifted upwards.

Seeing the stone door raised, I shouted with great joy: "Xiong Ming, the door is open, quickly retreat inside."

Xiong Ming naturally noticed the situation on my side, and he was no longer interested in fighting at the moment. After struggling to kill more than 20 giant green snails, he turned around and limped towards the back of the stone gate, not forgetting to follow his instructions.

He picked up two short arrows from the ground.

I asked in surprise: "What are you doing with this thing?"

Xiong Ming scolded: "Of course it's for self-defense, what else can I do? Could it be that I use it to grill skewers? After fighting those bugs for a long time, I didn't even get a chance to take advantage of them. Do you know how much I suffered?"

"

I scolded: "Damn it! You kid is such a thief!"

Xiong Ming will also scold: "I didn't learn this from you!"

Although the two of us kept cursing, we didn't relax at all. I supported Xiong Ming and trotted straight across the stone gate.

Strangely enough, those green snails seemed to be very afraid of the world inside the stone gate. They were extremely crazy and arrogant when they were in the corridor, but now they did not dare to cross the thunder pond, and could only hover outside the stone gate and let out bursts of noise.

The chirping sound of insects.

However, although those green snails and spotted centipedes did not dare to enter the stone gate, because there were so many of them, they came towards us one after another, causing the outside of the stone gate to be like a stack of arhats.

The layers are densely covered with dark red green snails.

Looking at the situation in front of me, I couldn't help but shudder, and I couldn't help but secretly feel glad that I didn't die in the mouths of these guys, otherwise I wouldn't be able to live in peace even if I became a ghost.

I looked at the green snails at the door that were rolling backwards, trying to escape, and then at the bitten Xiong Ming who was almost in human shape and asked: "Is your kid okay?"

Xiong Ming scolded me and said, "How dare you say that? If you hadn't been so dirty, would I have been like this?"

I smiled bitterly and said, "I'm asking if you are okay?"

Xiong Ming also laughed, shook his head and said, "It's okay! They're all skin injuries, you can't die!"

I smiled and said, "I know you are a tough guy!"

Xiong Ming looked at me, then at the stone room in front of him, and then suddenly frowned and said, "Hu Tian, ​​don't you think there's something wrong with this place?"

In fact, no need for Xiong Ming to say it, I also noticed that compared with the dark and narrow corridor before, this place is much brighter. Even without using flashlight, I can see everything here clearly.

What's more important is that this place is actually a stone room built on the bottom of the river.

The ceiling of the stone chamber is a dome structure, and is made of a very special colored glaze. It is transparent and shows a light green color. On the outside of the glaze dome is the sparkling river water. In addition, the outside of the dome is also covered with

There are green snails that emit light green fluorescence, and they provide the main light in this stone chamber.
