Chapter 100 The Weird Scratching at the Door

When you think about it, you can't help but feel depressed. It's not a good feeling to be in the face of beautiful things but not to have them.

It is said that men should marry when they are in college and women should be married when they are old. When they meet the right opposite sex, it is inevitable that they will be tempted. , leaving others behind, isn't it harming others?

Thinking of this, Wu Zhongyuan sighed, there is no other way, just keep pretending to be confused, and don't pierce that layer of window paper.

"There are a few important things we need to clarify." Wang Xinran said.

After Wang Xinran finished speaking, the three looked up at her at the same time.

Wang Xinran frowned and said, "First, are the stone chambers in the back the same as the ones in front? As long as you answer the questions correctly, the mechanism will not be activated."

"It should be the same," Wu Zhongyuan answered, "I'll go in later and walk around to see if the man-eating tree at the bottom of the pit will attack me. If it doesn't attack me, it means that as long as the answer to the question is correct won't start."

Wang Xinran nodded, "Secondly, have you ever thought about what kind of rewards might be hidden in those stone chambers?"

"Thought about it," Wu Zhongyuan said, "something that must be useful to me, at least it is useful to me in his opinion."

"What is the basis?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "The basis is the temperament of the owner of the tomb. Zuo Ci is a Taoist priest. Taoist priests believe in Taiji Yin and Yang. The principle they follow in dealing with people is not to lose. Will allow me to get something for nothing, and will not let me work in vain..."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Wang Xinran interrupted Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "What I want to say is that he knew that I came for the spirit stone, so he gave me the spirit stone. The spirit stone is the most basic. If I don't want to go on, I can go back now. .If I want to go on, it is to play with him. He has tried his best to build such a tomb. He must want to compete with me, but he does not force me to play with him, so Just give me the spirit stone first, if I continue to move forward, it is voluntary, even if something happens and gets injured, it is not his responsibility."

Speaking of this, Wu Zhongyuan paused for a while, and said again after panting, "Those institutions in the future must be very dangerous. It's not that he wants to harm me, but in his opinion, if it is not dangerous, it will not be directly proportional to the reward. To put it bluntly, he wants to reward me, but he won't let me take it away easily."

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, the three of them sorted out what he said in their minds. After thinking about it carefully, Wu Zhongyuan's statement was also valid, very logical and well organized.

Wu Zhongyuan said again, "Although Zuo Ci behaves perversely, he is not bad. He left me an antidote pill in Shengmen, in order to ensure that I can get out of the body after being poisoned."

"That's not reasonable," Wang Xinran shook his head, "Since he doesn't want you to be poisoned, why does he want to poison you?"

Wu Zhongyuan said, "I have also thought about this issue. The poison should not be the poison or gas that he deliberately planted, but the mechanism itself. Since there are living plants in the stone chamber, there may be living poisons."

This is Wu Zhongyuan's own guess. Wang Xinran doesn't think his guess is correct, but there is no reason to overthrow his guess, so he changed the question, "What kind of reward do you think the agency will offer?"

Wu Zhongyuan said, "He and that female warrior should be in a relationship. The female warrior must have told him something about me. Since he knows my background, he can guess what I might do in the future. , should be useful to me in the future.”

"No matter how good you are, you can't take it with you." Wang Xinran said, she participated in almost the whole process and knew the relevant details. Those warriors who came to look for Wu Zhongyuan came alone, and they didn't even carry weapons. It means that traveling through time and space cannot carry anything other than itself.

"I definitely can't take the real things with me, but I can take the knowledge and skills." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran didn't comment, and asked another question, "If you answer the wrong question and trigger the mechanism, do you have a second chance to answer the question?"

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "That's hard to say. If the stone chambers at the back are the same as those in front, there will be a chance to answer the question again. But those stone chambers at the back are not filled with rock sugar and kidney-reinforcing pills, so he might not give them I have a second chance, if the answer is wrong, the reward may be destroyed at the same time as the organ is triggered."

Wang Xinran nodded slowly, and then said to Zhang Shukai, "Every stone gate is blocked with stones to ensure that we can exit in time if there is an accident."

Zhang Shukai nodded in agreement, and got up to do it.

Wang Xinran threw away the cigarette butt and began to check the guns and equipment.

At this moment, Lu Jiahui said, "I have a question."

Wu Zhongyuan and Wang Xinran turned to look at her at the same time.

Lu Jiahui said, "Do you still remember the first sentence on the stone tablet?"

"What did you think of?" Wang Xinran asked.

Lu Jiahui said, "The first sentence of the stele says that the beauty doesn't know who Xiao Wu is, but he does. That beauty is the one who came to look for Xiao Wu. How could she not know who Xiao Wu is?"

Wang Xinran didn't answer, Wu Zhongyuan said, "I've thought about this question too, the biggest possibility is that the female warrior only knew who I was before I disappeared, and Zuo Ci guessed who I was after I went back."

Lu Jiahui nodded and said, "I think so too. You may become a famous figure in history after you go back, so the owner of the tomb wants to 'talk about the past and the present, and judge the latitude and longitude' with you."

"It seems Director Li's decision is correct." Wang Xinran said, before Director Li personally intervened in the matter, the Eighteenth Bureau's attitude towards Wu Zhongyuan was closely monitored, and Director Li believed that it was a mistake to keep Wu Zhongyuan in modern times Sending back to ancient times is in line with the law of development of things.

"Let's not discuss this for now," Wu Zhongyuan walked into the stone gate, "I'll go in and take a look first to see if the mechanism will be triggered."

"Let me do it." Wang Xinran said.

"I know how to do light work, but you can't run as fast as I do." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Tie the rope, and we can pull you back if you are in danger," Wang Xinran said.

"Forget it, what if it catches the rope instead of me?" Wu Zhongyuan started to speed up while speaking,

The stone room is not big. After a few seconds, Wu Zhongyuan ran out in a circle, but he didn't see the mechanism triggering. To make sure nothing happened, he ran in the opposite direction, and nothing happened.

Afterwards, I used to walk, and stepped on every stone slab with energy, and it was all right.

After confirming that the mechanism would not be triggered, Wu Zhongyuan waved to the three people outside the door. The three entered the stone room, walked carefully to the pothole in the middle of the stone room, and shone down with a strong flashlight.

Wang Xinran's previous judgment was correct. The depth of this pit is about ten meters, about as high as a three-storey building. The space below the pit is much larger than the top. It is an unbuilt earth pit. A pile of thick gray vines, and it is hard to tell which is the trunk and which is the branch, and at a sudden glance, it looks like a huge squid.

However, this pile of plants should be in a dormant state at this time, and the stone that Wang Xinran dropped earlier was still on the top of the vines.

There is a round hole the size of a bowl on the soil wall three meters below the hole. A metal pipe is embedded in the hole. Black dripping traces remain on the soil wall below the hole. There may have been black liquid from the metal not long ago. Spray out of the tube.

Those black liquids should be what awakened this man-eating tree, its specific ingredients are unknown, and the four of them didn't come here for scientific research, so they didn't have time to delve into it.

"Do you want to go down and block that metal pipe?" Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran tilted her head to look at him.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "What if another liquid is sprayed out?"

"What if the man-eating tree wakes up on the way?" Wang Xinran asked.

"Forget it." Wu Zhongyuan retreated.

After observing, the three of them came to the north stone gate, which was also closed. Lu Jiahui took out a claw hammer and hit it a few times. Wang Xinran raised his hand to stop it, "Wait a minute."

The stone room was very quiet. After the knocking stopped, a slight abnormal sound could be faintly heard from the stone door.

Wu Zhongyuan put his ear on the stone door and listened intently, "It seems that someone is grabbing the door."

Wang Xinran also heard a sound similar to scratching the door, and made a gesture to Lu Jiahui, signaling her to tap the Morse code continuously to keep the other party away from the stone door.

A few minutes later, Zhang Shukai was ready to detonate the gas cylinder just waiting for Wang Xinran's order.

Wang Xinran motioned for Lu Jiahui to stop knocking, put her ears on the door, and listen carefully to the sounds inside.

Wu Zhongyuan was doing the same thing. After listening carefully, the two looked at each other. The scratching sound continued, and it was more urgent than before.

"Why are you scratching so quickly?" Wu Zhongyuan was puzzled, the scratching sound coming from inside was extremely urgent, with almost no interval.

Wang Xinran frowned and shook his head, "The frequency is so fast, it doesn't look like a human..."
