Chapter 0298: The Abyss of White Bones
When waiting for Dong Xi, Li Zi'an picked up a stone tile, took an outdoor flashlight to shine it inside the secret passage, and then threw the stone tile into it.
The outdoor flashlight could only shine a dozen or twenty paces away, and beyond that, it was dark.
The stone tile jumped up and down the stone staircase, making a crashing sound, and jumped into the darkness, the sound of the collision faded away, but it was no longer visible.
Behind the darkness is not an abyss, but a stone staircase. Stone Tile jumped over the stone ladder and ran into a number of stone stairs, but it didn't trigger any traps.
Dong Xi came back, with a serious expression, but his face was red.
How embarrassed she was in her heart, only she knew.
Li Zi'an didn't mention the things that were convenient for her in thousands of years of ancient monuments, and as soon as she came over, he went straight to the point: "Let's go down." ”
Dong Xi nodded, she took out the pistol, and put the tactical flashlight on the pistol: "You turn off your elevator, we don't know how long we have to stay down there to save electricity." ”
Li Zi'an turned off the outdoor elevator, opened the alloy toolbox and put it back, and then took out the flying tiger claw that Tang Qing made for him.
"What's that?" Dong Xi asked curiously.
Li Zi'an said: "This is the flying tiger claw that my engineer made for me, we will go down to explore, maybe we will use it." ”
"You've got a lot of gadgets. Dong Xi originally wanted to mention Tang Qing, but when the words came to his lips, they became, "I'm ready, I'll go ahead, and you will follow behind." ”
"How can this kind of thing make you a woman walk in front. Li Zi'an walked into the secret passage first.
A smile appeared on the corner of Dong Xi's mouth, and he quickly followed, walking down side by side with Li Zi'an.
Li Zi'an didn't let her go to the back, because the tactical flashlight used for lighting was on her pistol.
The two of them went down the ladder, and with each step, the beam of the tactical flashlight expanded a little forward, but what they saw was the same, the stone staircase under their feet was a patina-colored stone staircase, and the walls of the two steps and the top of their heads were also rust-colored stone bricks, giving people the feeling of walking towards an ancient kingdom sealed in the ground, and they didn't know what would lurk in front of them.
The sound of kicking it, kicking it echoed through the secret passages, in front and behind.
After walking down dozens of steps, Li Zi'an glanced back, and a few steps behind him was pitch black, and there were no stone stairs or stone bricks to be seen. One glance at him, then he turned back and continued walking.
"Master, what do you think will be down there?" Dong Xi broke the silence between the two.
Li Zi'an said: "I think it may be an ancient tomb with coffins and a large number of funerary goods. ”
"I think you've watched too many tomb robbers and movies, who would build an ancient tomb under the temple?" Dong Xi had her own judgment.
"And what do you think is down there?"
"I don't know, but I think it's very unlikely to be an ancient tomb. Dong Xi said.
Li Zi'an thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, I'll give you a divination, my hexagram is very effective." ”
"Why did you suddenly remember to give me divination?"
Li Zi'an said: "The purpose of the two of us is the same now, what you want in your heart is what I want in my heart, I will give you a hexagram, maybe I can predict something in advance from the hexagram, and I can also break the good fortune for this trip." ”
"Then you give yourself divination, I don't want to divination. Dong Xi refused in one bite.
Li Zi'an said: "Hexagram is not self-divination, my own divination will lead to bad things, in case the retribution comes quickly, it will be fulfilled below, that is not a good thing." ”
Dong Xi hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head: "No." ”
"Why?" Li Zi'an couldn't understand.
Dong Xi said: "My identity is confidential, and some of the things I know are also confidential, the more effective your divination is, the more I can't let you divination, this is my responsibility." ”
Li Zi'an couldn't say anything when he heard this, but he could also understand Dong Xi. She is a warrior, and a warrior has the discipline and duty of a warrior, as well as faith and loyalty, which is different from ordinary people.
The two of them continued to walk down, and the stone stairs were left behind.
"288, 289, 290......" Li Zi'an counted as he walked, and from the moment he entered the secret passage, he was counting the stairs he had walked. When the count reached 290, the beam of the tactical flashlight hit the end of the secret passage, which was a pit.
Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, she thought that there would be something like a stone gate at the end of the secret passage, but she didn't expect it to be a pit.
“291、292...... 300, we still have 10 ladders to go, which adds up to just 300 integers. Li Zi'an said as he walked down.
Dong Xi and Li Zi'an walked down side by side: "Why is it a pit?"
"I don't know, let's see. Li Zi'an came to the pit at the end of the secret passage.
The pit is a boxy pit, the edge of the pit is paved with patina-colored stone bricks, and the bottom is also pitch black, and you can feel the gloomy atmosphere from below when you stand on the edge of the pit.
Dong Xi pressed down the head of the gun, and the beam of the tactical flashlight was projected into the pit.
There were no patina-colored stone masonry stairs, and the beam of the tactical flashlight shone dozens of meters deep, and although the bottom could not be seen, the rock wall by the pit could be seen. It was a normal rock wall, large and small, naturally distributed cracks, extending down at a ninety-degree vertical angle.
This is an underground abyss, and this boxy pit is built on the edge of the abyss.
The flying tiger claw made by Tang Qing is useful.
Li Zi'an took the Flying Tiger Claw in his hand: "I'll use this Flying Tiger Claw to go down and take a look first, you wait for me above." ”
Dong Xi said: "No, I have to go down with you." ”
Li Zi'an was a little speechless.
But he also knew that he couldn't convince this stubborn woman, because no matter what he said, she always had a reason to refute it. Before he came down, he still had a hope, that is, if he found Tianxiang, he would take Tianxiang for himself, but now it seems that this hope is getting slimmer and slimmer.
He even had some suspicions that she seemed to know what he wanted to do, so she clinged to him like this, not giving him a chance to act alone. But it's hard to mention it, and if she doesn't know it, she will know it as soon as he says it, and then there will be no chance.
Cha!
The Flying Tiger's Claw fired, plunging headlong into a horizontal crack in the rock wall, the Tiger's claw clasping tightly into the crevice.
Li Zi'an tugged and couldn't pull the tiger claw out. However, according to Tang Qing's design, as long as he pressed the mechanism, the tiger claw would be retracted, and the rope would be recycled into the mechanism box of the flying tiger claw.
Produced by Tang Qing, it must be a high-quality product.
Li Zi'an didn't bother to say anything to Dong Xi anymore, he put out the strap of the alloy toolbox, put the toolbox on his back, and then grabbed the rope with both hands, twisted the rope with one leg, and then slowly slid down.
He had just slipped down a position, Dong Xi also grabbed the rope and slid down, the pistol was inserted into her belt, and the beam of the tactical flashlight just shone below.
When the two of them slid down to two-thirds of the rope one after the other, the beam of the tactical flashlight finally hit the ground. The moment the scene on the ground entered the sight of the two, both of them were stunned.
Below is not an ancient tomb, nor is it a treasure trove of gold and agate, but a dense white bone.
A yin wind suddenly blew up from the ground, and with the countless white bones below, it felt particularly delicious.
"Are those bones the bones on Huang Bo's body?" Dong Xi's voice came from his head.
Li Zi'an said: "I'm not sure yet, you really have to listen to me this time, if it's that kind of bones, they will make people hallucinate, so many of them will be a very dangerous situation, I won't be poisonous, I should be fine, so this time I'll go down and take a look first." ”
"Be careful. This time Dong Xi agreed, and she stepped on a protruding rock with her foot and stopped.
Li Zi'an continued to slide.
Tang Qing said that the rope of the Flying Tiger Claw was 100 meters long, and the abyss under this cliff was also a good 100 meters deep, because the rope just fell on top of a pile of bones.
Li Zi'an originally wanted to avoid a skeleton under the rope, but the rope hung down on a large pile of bones, and there were bones all around, so he couldn't avoid it at all, so he had to step on the leg bone of the skeleton.
Click!
The thigh bone was broken in two, and the ribs of one of the skeletons below were also crushed.
This is not the kind of skeleton on Huang Bo's body, and there are no patina-colored marks and symbols on his forehead, just ordinary bones.
Li Zi'an stood on the pile of bones with his feet, nervous in his heart, and said: "I'm sorry for you, I didn't mean to disturb you, after I go back, I will burn incense wax money paper for you to make amends." ”
A yin wind blew.
Li Zi'an hurriedly said: "You don't have to respond, I will count what I say, I will definitely burn a lot of paper money for you, you can buy whatever you want." ”
Originally, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but in such an environment, he had to believe if he didn't believe it.
"What's next?" Dong Xi's voice came down.
Li Zi'an said: "It's an ordinary skeleton, you come down." ”
Dong Xi followed and slid down, and she also stepped on a few bones with one foot.
This temple is a temple from 3,800 years ago, and the bones under this abyss are at least 3,800 years old, so it must be very crispy after such a long time.
Dong Xi swept around with the pistol in her hand, and the beam of the tactical flashlight also illuminated her and Li Zi'an's vision with the movement of the pistol.
The position of the two of them was on a pile of bones under the cliff nearby, with countless piles of bones on the left and right sides and in front of them, and narrow passages and rocky floors between the piles of bones.
Further on, it is invisible, and the distance of the beam of the tactical flashlight is limited.
"This place is so weird, how can so many people die here?" Dong Xi said.
Li Zi'an said: "No wonder the archaeological team didn't find a person's bones outside, it turned out that they were all here." Yesterday Kang Xin told me that the civilization of the city was comparable to that of the Mayan civilization, even comparable to the legendary Atlantis, but she did not know how it perished. Now it seems that someone killed everyone in the city. ”
When he said this, the beam of the tactical flashlight in Dong Xi's hand just shone on the bones of a child on a pile of white bones next to him, and in terms of the size of the bones, the child was probably only three or four years old when he died.
Even the children were not spared.
"What to do now, I'll listen to you. Dong Xi said.
Li Zi'an thought for a while: "Let's walk ahead and leave marks on the road to avoid getting lost." ”
Dong Xi nodded.
ps: I'm going to get a "Baijiahao" to drive, and I'm applying for it, Baidu's scale is wider, it's not so perverted, it should be feasible. When I'm done, I'll let you know here, and everyone can get together and have a fun discussion about life again.
