Chapter 18 Bluestone Giant Gate

"There was only one type of lamp oil left in the tombs of ancient princes and generals, which was the fat of the legendary Zhizhu Mingzhu. "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the First Emperor of Qin" wrote, 'When the First Emperor ascended the throne, he conquered the Li Mountain and merged with it. All over the world, over 700,000 people from all over the world have been sent to the imperial coffin through three springs and copper. The palaces and palaces are filled with hundreds of officials, rare utensils, and treasures. Use mermaid paste as a candle to save the immortal ones for a long time. Lan·Huobu San·Deng" quoted in "San Qin Ji" also says this."

"If you use mermaid paste as a candle, it will last for a long time. In fact, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor will be brightly lit and very lively all year round."

"Mermaid?" Wo Gua didn't believe it. "I heard it looks like a manatee. It looks like a loach that's gotten fat from eating too much. How amazing is it?"

""The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Dade Nanhai Zhi", "Yuan Shi", "Sou Shen Ji"... all have records, 'The shark is the immortal of the spring, also known as the spring guest. When the dragon yarn comes out of the South China Sea, the spring dives first. "Weaving, a dragon yarn"; "its eyes can weep beads"... There have long been rumors that there is an ever-bright lamp with shark oil as fuel in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. Its true body is indeed a manatee, that is, a dugong, but some people say They are the Sandpiper, the Tomb Fish, the Siren, and the Lorelei, a kind of creature with a rather fantasy meaning."

After a pause, he suddenly thought of something. Wo Gua was listening with interest, but he stopped smoothly, and immediately said a little dissatisfied, "It stands to reason that this is an everlasting lamp, how could this thing be on this stalactite? No. Barbecuing is not a picnic, is it used to scald pigs?"

"Yeah, why are you here?"

Li Lvyan said to himself, with a faint possibility in his mind. In fact, the first time he stood on this coffin-shaped stone and saw the countless corpses, he had a vague guess. , but the subsequent encounters continued to deepen this guess. Now that he saw the lamp oil of this pearl-weaving shark, it was immediately confirmed, but he did not have complete evidence yet.

Unless you really see it with your own eyes——

The corpses crawling around were crawling up, and Wo Gua lay on the rock, holding a machine gun "Tuk Tuk Tuk" and started shooting wildly, hitting whoever hit them.

Li Lvyan was thinking about this matter and calculating at the same time. Due to his multitasking, his speed also slowed down a bit.

"Old man, are you okay? If you're not okay, I'll have to light this bright light for you."

Hearing Wo Gua's urging, Li Lvyan woke up from a dream and hurriedly made calculations. At the last moment, Wo Gua finally used a lighter and built a wall of fire, but under the wall of fire, the rotting corpses made strange sounds. , "Crackling" everything was burned, and he was slowly unable to move.

The remaining rotting corpses also seemed to be afraid of the fire. Once they saw that their companions were contaminated, they quickly dispersed. Therefore, except for those without eyes, the rest of the rotting corpses were extremely smart and stayed away from the fire.

But just like that, the side effects of incomplete combustion of methane that Li Green Ant predicted also followed one after another. Just when the thick smoke was billowing and choking people, Li Green Ant covered his mouth and nose and said in a hoarse voice that it was done.

The surrounding flames suddenly shot up, about one meter high, and suddenly the fire spread and formed a huge fire circle around the big stone.

A raging fire was already igniting in the base area under their feet. Li Green Ant and Wo Gua were floating over on ropes respectively, like a sideshow in a circus, or like a lion crossing the fire ring cautiously, for fear of accidentally burning his hair.

The two of them complemented each other and cooperated several times. Finally, after stepping on the fortieth stone, they could no longer move and lay down on the stone exhausted. At this time, less than half of the ten thousand rotting corpses had gone, but There are still six to seven thousand left, and they are patrolling and starting to stack human ladders.

Li Lvyan began to close his eyes and do mental arithmetic while resting. Wogua got up with difficulty: Corporal Grasshopper rarely rested. He had to do a good job in security, but when he went to go to the machine gun, the ballistic missiles "dingdongdangdang" fell out. There were several empty shells. Wo Gua looked through the outside and saw that the bullets inside were gone. After looking through Li Lvyan's bag, there were no bullets left inside.

Li Lvyan sat up with difficulty. "It seems that we are destined to die here. No matter how we struggled before, it seems that we are just delaying our own death."

Wo Gua was also very discouraged. He turned around and started to pack his luggage, but suddenly he saw that not far ahead, in the open line of sight, the luminous pearls were even brighter, and there were countless luminous treasures embedded in the wall, which reflected each other to form a giant bluestone door!

Opposite the giant bluestone door is an artificially carved, inverted bowl-shaped stalactite layer that looks like a barrier. There are dozens of red lines that seem to be deeply embedded in the stalactite layer. They are pulled directly to the top of the giant bluestone door. Knot, from here, looks like a folk lantern festival, with colorful wires decorated with lanterns and decorations on the street, but here there are dozens of long red ropes tied with red bells, and yellow paper knots under the bells Talisman.

There is no wind in the cave. In addition to the vibration caused by the movement of the rotten corpses, it also makes those weird and incomparable bells "ringing" sound, which is scary all of a sudden.

After the initial excitement, the two of them swallowed hard when they saw this scene. "Old man, I thought we had just climbed a few mountains and crossed a few rivers. Why are there only so many monsters and monsters? We finally got through all the hardships. I’ve found my comfort zone, but I didn’t expect that this place would look so ghostly. Although it’s bright, it looks like a place to suppress ghosts.”

Li Lvyan couldn't help but frowned when he saw this weird scene: Wo Gua was right. All these arrangements looked like they were designed to suppress ghosts. Then Liu Jing spent so much effort to build this large... Tomb, will you allow yourself and those buried with you to transform into corpses?

It seems that the previous suspicion was indeed misjudged. Liu Jing was sitting at home and the pot came from the sky. Now that he thinks about it, it is very sorry for him to have all this on his head.

However, seeing this huge bluestone door, Li Lvyan's suspicions were finally confirmed. It would be false to say that he was not excited: indeed, these corpses should be an accident, and Liu Jing never expected that the craftsmen who buried them alive would In the final collective corpse transformation, there must be a turning point that even Liu Jing and himself did not discover, but what was it?

This place is the last stepping stone, and it is fifty meters away from the giant bluestone gate. Therefore, there are only a few scattered corpses under the red rope. There are quite a few piled up here, but -

Li Lvyan was worried: Even if he really used all his strength to get there, the giant bluestone gate should be the last barrier set up by Liu Jing. If he couldn't open it, wouldn't he drag Wo Gua with him to death?

Wogua touched his goosebumps, looked at Li Lvyan and said, "I said, shall we go there?"

Li Lvyan thought for a while and took stock of the terrain. "With the strength of the two of us, plus the remaining weapons, it is not enough to shake these armies of rotting corpses. Only by truly entering a place that these rotting corpses absolutely cannot enter." A safe place is considered safe. At present, it seems that it is indeed the best place to go, but——"

"Hey, it's better to die than to live. But this is it. Corporal Grasshopper, we have survived tenaciously until now. Are you still worried that I don't have the courage to accompany you to die? Now that I am a coward, I have gone through this thrilling adventure. After a few hours of training, unless we can’t make it, we have to pee there.”

Wo Gua pretended to take out the Flying Tiger Claw, and this time hooked it directly on the giant bluestone door. Li Green Ant saw it and quickly stopped him.

"This flying tiger claw is of no use now. If you really believe me, I have a way."

Li Lvyi first tentatively walked to the edge, looked at the rope, and said to Wo Gua, "Look, although I don't know the purpose of these red ropes blocking the bluestone door, there are still so many bells, What does the talisman paper do? But these red ropes are deeply embedded in the stones and are very strong. The highest point is ten meters away from the ground and the lowest point is less than four or five meters. As long as we use this red rope, like this so--"

Li Lvyan took out the climbing rope, gestured to himself and Wo Gua for a while, then made several large circles, passed around the chest from behind, and the last circle passed around the roots of the hind legs, "Look, Then put this trap on the red rope, like a pulley or a cable car, and slide directly to the bluestone giant door, it is very safe."

When he saw the knotted rope that Li Lvyan had made in just a few turns, and it turned out to be true, Wo Gua was surprised and said, "That's awesome. How the hell do you know how to do everything?"

Li Luyi smiled "hehe" "This is a very simple principle of pulley mechanics in physics. I took it as an elective when I was in college."

The body of Wo Gua is short and fat. It took Li Lvyan a long time to prepare the Wo Gua. The Wo Gua scratched his thigh and felt awkward, "It's a bit crotch-breaking and a bit awkward."

Li Lvyan said helplessly, "Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures. Please be patient for the time being."

Afraid that even one red rope could not bear the weight of a person sliding on it, Li Lvyan grabbed five red ropes at once, used a climbing rope to go around the middle, and began to tie a knot on his chest.

Speaking of the scene where I am now, it has also appeared in the movie starring Jackie Chan that I have seen before, but in the movie, he directly holds a steel wire with both hands and slides from one side of the cliff to the other. This situation can only It can appear in the movie, but if you really encounter this situation now, it will naturally not be the same as in the movie.

He glanced at Wo Gua hesitantly. Li Lvyan saw that Wo Gua was squirming and seemed unwilling to be the first to do it. He thought he was afraid of Wo Gua, so he demonstrated first.

The five thick red ropes were tightened in an instant, and the bells tied to the red ropes could only be heard jingling, and the talisman paper at the end of the bells also swung. Li Green Ant arrived in the blink of an eye. There was only one or two meters between them in front of the huge bluestone door. The reason why Li Green Ant stopped at this distance was because he pressed his feet against the door, wanting to wait for the nest, otherwise he would have landed in front of the door.

But he said that he didn't know it, and was shocked when he saw it. Li Lvyan leaned sidely and looked back, but saw that in addition to the five red ropes he used, there were more than a dozen red ropes nearby that were grabbed by Wo Gua. He made a fierce move and immediately circled his head and slid down. However, I don't know whether it was because of nervousness or some other reason, but he actually made a large rotation in mid-air, turning over like a juggling act in the air!

It didn't matter that he turned over. The slip knot of the climbing rope that was originally tied under the thigh was loosened, and suddenly it was more than one meter tall. The originally safe distance of three or four meters from the ground suddenly became a dangerous distance, attracting countless rotten people. The corpses gathered, and because the slip knot at the thigh was loosened, the slip knot at the abdomen was also loosened, and it stopped straight on the chest. Fortunately, Li Green Ant had the foresight to tie a dead knot here for fear of something unexpected. Otherwise, a straight rope would have to be pulled to the end, but even so, Wo Gua would feel very uncomfortable.

Thousands of carrion armies moved over from just now, half and half surrounding the two people in the red rope area. But after all, Li Green Ant was sitting in the middle of the rope knot when he approached the bluestone giant door, high above the ground. It was still more than three meters high, but Wo Gua seemed to be held by two arms and fell into the air. The rotting corpses seemed to think that there was more room for breakthrough at Wo Gua, so they gathered in groups to wait for the sky. It's a piece of cake, Li Lvyan has no carrion here.

"Wogua!!"

Li Green Ant screamed in surprise. At this time, thousands of rotten corpses stretched out their hands and pulled the ankles of Wo Gua with all their strength, as if they were ready to tear down the Wo Gua hanging in the air and feast on it. The Wo Gua was hung in the air. , unable to advance or retreat, because of the accident just now, the climbing rope was also inexplicably knotted in the air at this moment, and could not slide to Li Lvyan.

"quack--"

The rotten corpse seemed to be excited about the meat that was about to reach his mouth. Wo Gua panicked, and his face turned half pale. He kicked his ankles hard and raised his arms desperately. However, the rope was not a single and parallel bar and could not bear the force. The veins all over Melon’s forehead won’t do either.

This is extremely bad. Li Lvyan: What should I do? What should I do? Sooner or later, if this goes on, Wo Gua will be unable to hold on. And looking at the dozens of load-bearing red ropes, it is not always the same. Whenever Wo Gua The longer you stay on these ropes, the toughness of these red ropes will decrease, and they will slowly loosen over time, and then the height of the nest from the ground will become lower and lower. At that time...

"Miso -"

It seemed that Li Lvyan's idea was confirmed immediately. The rock layer, which was like a bowl holder with red ropes deeply embedded in it, suddenly seemed a little unbearable. In the area where the red ropes were adhered, fine linen fell. Numb gravel, and fine cracks appeared on the top.

Fortunately, Wo Gua was not very tall and his legs were extremely short. Although he was only two meters above the ground, he could still hold on for a while. But suddenly, when Wo Gua saw the carrion corpses that couldn't wait to eat him, he smiled evilly and tried to He stretched his legs out sexually, which indeed caused the group of rotting corpses to become restless.

"Crunch, crunch -"

Just when he was almost hit by one of the tallest rotting corpses, Wo Gua retracted his legs and caught the rotting corpse. Wo Gua burst out laughing, "Haha, you can't catch me, hey - you can't catch me." Me, come on, come on, come and catch me if you have the guts."

Li Lvyan's expression froze: How long has it been? Why is this melon still so worried?

Looking at the surrounding terrain, he quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind. More than a dozen red ropes gathered together to form a long axis with Wo Gua as a fulcrum. It was wide. The knot accidentally ended up halfway. A knot has been tied. In this case, unless the knot is untied, otherwise——

Suddenly a flash of calcium carbide flashed through Li Lvyan's mind: Yes!

"Wogua, you must remember what I say next!"

Seeing that the stone with the red rope embedded in it was shattering into bigger and bigger pieces, Li Green Ant was worried. Wo Gua was still playing with the rotting corpses, saying proudly and unconcernedly, "That's all you say."

"There is no other way to untie your dead knot unless you untie it yourself after falling. But with the rotting corpse down there, you can't do that, so what you have to do is to find a way to make the width of the dead knot smaller, as long as it is smaller than it is now. Because of the sudden loss of width, the dead knot will also slide downward with inertia according to the current terrain and the weight it bears. However, after a period of time, due to the existence of friction, it will still become a dead knot. At this time, you have to use the method just now. You can avoid this crisis by repeating your old tricks, sliding to my side quickly, and then grabbing the giant bluestone door!"

Wo Gua was surprised and said, "The included space is reduced? How to do it?"

"The total side area of fifteen red ropes is 2 times π times 10.364 times 50 meters. The same is true for the remaining area of the inner space formed by the dead knot. You want to reduce the side area formed by the red rope and let the dead knot To pass, use the knife I used to cut the rope before. Quickly cut off a red rope, and then use this gap to slide over. You must remember that the existence of friction will form a new one after 5.46 seconds that is more difficult to pass than just now. Dead knot, you have to seize this period of time to allow yourself to cover as much distance as possible, and then do it again, and the cycle repeats!"

Although I didn't understand what Li Lvyan was saying, I probably understood the meaning.

Wogua nodded suddenly, straightened up with difficulty, and lay on the red line. He temporarily got a little room for movement. He took out the knife from his pocket with difficulty, swallowed and looked at Li Lvyan. Li Lvyan looked at him worriedly. Wogua.

This has a big disadvantage, that is, although it allows Wogua to pass quickly, once the number of red ropes supporting him decreases, his situation will become more and more difficult, because the number of red ropes that originally carried him has changed from fifteen. When it becomes ten, the bearing capacity per unit area is greatly reduced. As the pressure changes, it will get closer and closer to the ground. Pascal is equal to the pressure curve increasing in Newtons, divided by the reduced stress area occupied by the red rope. If the nest If Gua doesn't hurry up, he will be swallowed up by the swarm of carrion corpses waiting for him when he reaches his side!

Falling down tremblingly again, Wo Gua put the knife close to the dead knot and suddenly cut one of the red ropes. He felt that the distance from the ground dropped a little in an instant. He started to move, but when he opened his eyes, there was a gap in the dead knot. Suddenly, with the sound of friction, the gap narrowed again.

"Wogua, what are you waiting for? Hurry up!"

Li Green Ant shouted loudly, and the nest melon did the same thing, and immediately broke it off. The group of carrion corpses below became more and more restless and began to trample on the corpses, moving slowly towards the movement track of the melon melon.

"bass!"

When the fourth rope was cut, Wogua was already less than seven or eight meters away from Li Green Ant. At this time, he was in an extremely dangerous situation, that is, he was only about two meters away from the rotting corpses. The corpses could reach him anytime and anywhere as long as they stretched out their hands, and the group of rotting corpses did exactly that.

Seeing this, Li Lvyan's heart suddenly tightened, but in an instant, Wo Gua frowned, fiercely split his short legs into a cross-shaped horse in the space, tightly tied the rope on his chest, and hurriedly Slowly, he cut a rope again and headed towards Li Lvyi.
