Chapter 1304 Finally Opened
The wooden wheel turned nine times, and they clearly felt that the mechanism had been triggered.
There was no way to ignore the movement of that giant mechanism operating underground.
But after turning nine times, it became quiet again. No door was seen opened, and no cracks appeared.
Everyone waited quietly and looked around. For a moment, there was silence all around.
Unfortunately, the result disappointed them.
No movement.
After a long while, Lan Rong looked at Fu Jinchen.
"Master Fu, what do you think is the reason?"
Fu Jinchen jumped down, walked to the wooden wheel, looked at it carefully again, and walked around it twice.
He was thinking about some unofficial history he had heard and seen before.
Finally, I thought of the correspondence I had with Shen Xuan.
In the letter, Shen Xuan mentioned a few things he had learned before related to Dong Qing, and said that he could keep them in mind in case they might be useful someday.
He said that the powerful people in Dongqing like the number 36 very much. Many mechanisms, special days, or patterns may contain the number 36.
But what they had researched before was that the wooden wheel rotated nine times.
Sanliu's words.
"Try to turn nine times and stop, and try four times nine times." said Fu Jinchen.
Maybe in every nine laps, there is something waiting for you, marked with time by a detailed mechanism. If you don’t stop, you will miss it.
"yes."
Lan Rong immediately listened to him, turned around and gave orders, and he himself couldn't help but followed suit to push the wooden wheel.
This time, they sped up and stopped after pushing it nine times.
After waiting for a while, Fu Jinchen indeed heard a click, but he didn't know where it came from.
"Continue with the second nine laps," he said immediately.
Lan Rong and the others immediately started the second nine laps.
After four rounds, the extremely heavy wooden wheel suddenly sank a bit. Before they could be shocked, the ground shook again. Then a piece of mountain wall not far ahead suddenly dropped mud, and then a crack slowly appeared in the middle of the mountain wall.
It was like two halves of a mountain that had been split apart and then tightly pressed together, and were now slowly being pulled apart.
A few stones in the middle rolled down and a hole appeared.
“It’s open.”
Lan Rong stared at the cave mountain, and as he watched it grow bigger and bigger, he became excited.
Is this the place?
The Dark City is sealed behind?
This entire mountain wall is part of a mechanism. How did they do that?
Everyone watched nervously and excitedly, until the crack was roughly large enough for two people to pass through and the cave below looked more like an entrance, and the noise finally stopped.
The cave looked dark, but there was wind blowing from that side.
Fu Jinchen took a few steps closer and realized that the entire mountain was not a mechanism, but there was a large area of thin rock outside. These were the five rings in the mechanism, which were used to block the larger gap behind.
The cave is the entrance.
Now they can see where the cave leads to and what is inside, and because they made a lot of noise just now, they disturbed a few snakes.
The little snake jumped out and was quickly chopped down by Lan Rong and the others with swords.
Looks like a poisonous snake.
"Master Fu, I'll take some people in to take a look. I'll trouble you to keep an eye on the outside." Lan Rong immediately wanted to take people into the cave.
"No, I'll go in with you."
How could Fu Jinchen not participate in this operation? He also wanted to go in as soon as possible to see if there was anyone alive inside.
As a result, while they were still arguing, Fu Zhaofei ran out from somewhere and ran into the cave first.
"I'll go check it out!"
"Xiao Fei!"
Fu Jinchen was startled. Where did this guy come from? He was concentrating on the mechanism before and didn't notice him.
"Hurry up and follow them." Lan Rong quickly took a few people to catch up.
