Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Lin Ran stared at the stone pillar in the darkness and suddenly remembered a sentence.

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

At this time, Lin Ran realized this feeling, which was indeed a bit cool.

Wang Jinpeng held a torch and looked inside, asking, "Is this the tomb passage?"

Lin Ran turned around and said, "Yes, but there is an abyss below. We must jump from the stone pillars."

It was very scary to say, and no one responded for a while.

The light of the flashlight has no effect in this "space" in the darkness. Only the light of the torch can illuminate the stone pillars. This feeling is very subtle.

After confirming the internal environment, Lin Ran picked up a stone again and threw it from the entrance of the cave.

After not hearing a reply for a long time, I can be sure that this is an abyss with no bottom.

These pillars, spaced about two meters apart, are the only roads leading to the opposite side.

"Okay, let me try it first!" Wang Jinpeng is a single cell. Although he thinks the abyss is shabby, the distance is not far, so it is not difficult to jump up.

Lin Ran took a stone and threw it at the stone pillar opposite to confirm that it was not hollow.

Then he nodded and said: "Okay, but please pay attention to your safety."

"This is for you." Xu Ning took out a safety rope from his backpack and tied it to Wang Jinpeng. If he fell, the rope could save his life.

Being fully prepared, Wang Jinpeng muttered three times silently and jumped over.

thump.

With a crisp landing sound, Wang Jinpeng landed on the first stone pillar. His steps were steady and he didn't even waver.

Is he born naturally?Or did they dig it specially to build a tomb? "Lin Caiwei was stunned by the sight in front of her.

Wang Jinpeng stood on the stone platform and turned around to give them a no problem gesture.

However, Lin Ran noticed something was wrong.

"Jinpeng, come back quickly!" Lin Ran shouted in a deep voice.

Within his sight, the stone pillar Wang Jinpeng stepped on was falling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wang Jinpeng also noticed it. He originally thought he was just a little unsteady, but found that his body was getting lower and lower, and he even had to raise his head to see Lin Ran and the others.

He immediately realized that the platform he was on was sinking!

Fortunately, he reacted quickly. Before the pillar could reach the opposite platform, he stood up and jumped to Lin Ran's side, finally grabbing the edge.

Others rushed to pull him up from the edge. Wang Jinpeng, who had narrowly escaped death, lost his legs and collapsed on the ground.

While gasping for air, he asked with lingering fear: "Why did this stone pillar sink? Do I weigh that much?"

Although he meant to be joking, even the vicious Huang Hao was not in the mood to make trouble with him now.

Wang Jinpeng was shocked just now and thought she would never see him again.

Lin Ran looked under the stone pillar. The light from the torch was not strong enough and could not reach the bottom.

At this time, a strange scene occurred.

The stone pillar, which had sunk slightly, slowly returned to its original position as if a spring had been installed.

Lin Ran couldn't help but rub his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly, and said to everyone: "This stone pillar has changed back to its original state."

It turned out to be a sinking and floating column.

This was the first time Lin Ran had seen this kind of design in a tomb.

If it were before the emergence of electronic devices, such ingenious mechanisms could be designed...

It can only be described with four words: ingenuity.

It is enough to see that this tomb took a lot of thought.

Lao Hei also saw it and said: "The design of sinking and floating columns is usually built on water. It is strange that it can be designed in the mountains."

And his men asked directly: "This pillar sinks when you step on it. How did the ancients carry the coffin?"

Lin Ran pondered for a long time and replied slowly: "I guess they prepared a long ladder for the burial and built it directly to the opposite side."

The stone pillar descended very quickly. Although there was a buffer, it was impossible for several people to synchronize while carrying the coffin.

So the only explanation is to use the ladder to go there, and when you come back, you can come back one by one. As long as you go quickly, nothing will happen.

But in the eyes of everyone, this mountain tunnel is at least 20 meters long. Unless it is an ancient ladder, there is no such a long ladder.

The plan to pass through the ladder must have failed, so Lin Ran decided to test the reality.

After untying the rope from Wang Jinpeng, Xu Ning hurriedly asked: "Brother Lin, it's too dangerous. How about I try it?"

"It doesn't matter. I'm going to explore the truth and collect data." Lin Ran tied the rope into a cross rope so that he would not fall anyway.

Even though Master Zhenbao often had to listen to Lin Ran's advice before, he was always on the front line when something happened.

It was only at this time that Lin Ran realized how difficult it was for him.

"When in danger, tighten the rope immediately and we will pull you up." Wang Jinpeng held Lin Ran's hand and said with concern.

The people in Lao Hei's team looked at Lin Ran with admiration.

Although their former legs knew a lot, they were very timid. When in danger, they were asked to disarm the trap.

Unlike Lin Ran, who knew the danger but still rushed to the front line.

Lao Hei also said: "I will pull with you."

His strength was no less than Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning. With the help of three strong men, Lin Ran naturally felt more confident.

He nodded and said: "Thank you everyone, stand back a little, I need distance acceleration."

Everyone took a step back. Lin Ran took a deep breath and jumped onto the stone pillar opposite.

The moment he stepped on it, the pillar began to sink.

"Mr. Lin, pay attention." Lao Hei couldn't help but remind him.

At this time, Lin Ran did not rush to jump to another stone pillar, but balanced his body.

The stone pillar descends very slowly, and it is obvious that there is buoyancy support below.

Just like what Lao Hei said, he felt that the stone pillars were like lotus leaves floating on the water. They fell because they could not bear the weight.

After balancing, Lin Ran made another jumping movement.

Jumping onto the second stone pillar, the previous stone pillar gradually floated, and the second stone pillar began to sink.

Lin Ran stepped on it and felt like walking on thin ice.

But he also figured out how stone pillars work. These are floating pillars that rise and fall in response to changes in the weight above them.

As long as its maximum load-bearing capacity is not exceeded, the stone pillar will not sink to the bottom.

Lin Ran decided to make a bold attempt. He did not rush to jump to the third stone pillar, but stood still.

Seeing this, Liu Jingfeng shouted: "Brother Lin, what are you doing?"

Lin Ran did not answer, and the others' hearts were in their throats.

But the stone pillar dropped a certain height and stopped falling.

Lin Ran made the right bet. The further down, the greater the buoyancy force the bottom of the stone pillar will bear, and it will eventually reach equilibrium.

With his weight, the stone pillar will drop about half a meter.

It's just that the decline is not smooth.

The reason why Liu Jingfeng didn't answer just now was because he still had to control his balance.

In the end, the stone pillar remained in a state of stillness.
