Chapter 18 Choose One From Two
Although Shen Lang was impatient, he was definitely not a nonsense at the critical moment. Therefore, as Shen Lang shouted, we knew that he must have discovered something, and we couldn't help but cheer up again.
Everyone came to his side excitedly, staring at the place where his hands were touching the statue, wanting to know why he was like this.
After observation, we found that after Shen Lang's actions just now, the stone sculpture actually fell slightly.
Although this discovery surprised us, because we didn't know the specific reason for the mechanism here, for the reason of worrying about Shen Lang, after we knew that the stone sculpture could be pressed, we were afraid that he would accidentally trigger the mechanism here, so we quickly asked him to let go of his hand.
Since this evil spirit stone sculpture is not fixed but can be pressed downward, we will naturally have some associations. Is the same true for another Fang Xiangshi stone sculpture?
Since I thought about this, I must confirm it. Everyone immediately came to Fang Xiang's stone sculpture and signaled Shen Lang to use the same force to hit the stone sculpture. I want to know if this statue will have the same reaction as the previous monster stone sculpture.
After experiments, it was found that as we expected, after Shen Lang used the same force to hit, this stone sculpture of Fang Xiang's family also sank to a certain extent.
Just when we confirmed this discovery, perhaps because Shen Lang could not maintain long-term stability, he saw his hands trembling for a moment, and the sinking degree of this Fang Xiang stone sculpture suddenly increased, and then a sound of a machine spring came from around us.
After so long experience, we are naturally no longer unfamiliar with the sound of the machine spring. Everyone knows it, knowing that perhaps it was because of Shen Lang's trembling hands that caused some unknown mechanism.
So, everyone set out to respond, looked around with their eyes, paid close attention to the changes around them, and told Shen Lang not to move around, so as not to make the already unstable situation worse.
Although Shen Lang is prone to excitement, he is not really stupid. After hearing this sound, he also knew that it was because of himself that the current incident was triggered.
So, he nodded to us quickly and signaled that he could hear our instructions clearly. Although his face turned pale, his hands were as stable as rocks and he did not dare to move any more.
Perhaps because Shen Lang stabilized his body after the sound of the spring came out, everyone looked around and found that there was no abnormality around them, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
At this time, everyone felt relieved. We turned around and looked at Shen Lang, and at the same time signaled him to let go slowly and restore the statue to its original state.
After receiving our instructions, Shen Lang did not dare to neglect at all. He slowly put away the force on his hands. With his movements, the statue of Fang Xiang returned to its original height bit by bit in our eyes.
At the same time, the sound of the machine spring we had heard just now sounded again, but this time it still did not have any impact on us. If we had not heard it with our own ears twice, we would have thought that we had hallucinations.
Seeing that everything was normal after letting go, Shen Lang let out a long breath. He wiped the sweat beads left on his face at some point, and the joy of surviving the disaster appeared on his face.
Then he quickly walked to us, as if to stay away from these two statues full of mystery and unknown, looking at us to know why all this was.
"Although Shen Lang almost caused a disaster because of his impatience, as the saying goes, it is a blessing in disguise. After his actions just now, we can be sure that these two statues can be pressed down by artificially."
Seeing Shen Lang's current appearance, I really couldn't bear to be mysterious about him as usual, so I sorted out my thoughts and told him one by one the thoughts I got from the situation just now.
"According to common sense, no matter what kind of statue it is, it should be fixed on the surface of its standing. However, since these two statues can be pressed down, it proves that there is another mystery on the ground under the statue. Perhaps pressing it down is the real way to crack the mechanism here."
After hearing what I said, Shen Lang widened his eyes and looked at the two statues on the left and right, and asked in disbelief.
"You can crack the mechanism by pressing it? Brother Chuan, is this mechanism so simple?"
"Of course it's not that simple."
I shook my head, and saw Shen Lang's appearance, and my tone was somewhat helpless.
"Although we can roughly guess that pressing the statue is the real way to crack the mechanism, at the same time, new problems arise.
It is obvious that the key to this mechanism is not the details carved on the stone carving, but the stone carving itself.
By pressing the stone carving, it involves the mechanism that has been arranged on the ground under the stone carving. This is the real operating principle of the mechanism here. In fact, this is not complicated.
However, although we have confirmed that these two stone sculptures can be artificially pressed, causing the ground to sink, it is obvious that only one stone sculpture is the real mystery of cracking the mechanism here.
This is the entrance to the Yin Soldiers. Because this involves the battle soul Yin Soldiers that Guiguzi once borrowed from Yin Cao, in Guiguzi's heart, the person who can come here must be the ones who know all his arrangements, and this person will definitely know the real way to crack this mechanism.
Since this place is extremely important, Guiguzi must have already made arrangements to prevent people from coming here to destroy it. If we make a mistake in our choice, it is very likely that the murderous intent hidden in this mechanism will be triggered.
Now, what is placed in front of us is actually an extremely old-fashioned choice of two-choice time.
Just when I racked my brains but had no clue, Shen Lang beside me seemed to be thinking. He looked at me seriously and confirmed to me again that he had mentioned the issue just now.
"Brother Chuan, did you just say that in the legend, the ghosts like to eat the dead, and Fang Xiang can just restrain them. It is precisely because of this reason that Fang Xiang appeared here as a tomb-controlling beast?"
"That's right."
Although I was puzzled, I nodded and confirmed this statement to Shen Lang.
"Funeral culture is one of the traditional Chinese cultures. The ancients were very serious about funeral matters. Since this place was arranged as a tomb, this statement would never be wrong."
After my explanation, Shen Lang seemed to understand something in an instant, and saw him strode forward with confidence in his tone.
"Brother Chuan, I understand. Leave it to me if you choose one."
