Chapter 21: Escape from the Tomb
Under the pile of clutter, something seemed to be reflecting.
Li Mingcian walked over and kicked the scattered things on the ground, and found that there was a chessboard underneath, and the chess pieces were fixed on it and couldn't be taken down. Li Mingcian looked at it, and the sunspots on the chessboard seemed to look like the Big Dipper, but one North Star was missing.
Shen Xiqiao approached and looked at the scene, and he was also very happy: "These eight achievements are organs, right?"
Li Mingcian groped the chessboard: "It's just that there seems to be something missing here?"
"North Star. Shen Xiqiao said affirmatively.
Li Mingcian looked at the chess pieces, and felt that they were similar to the stones he had picked up. She reached out and took out the stone and handed it to Shen Xiqiao. Shen Xiqiao was quite surprised at first glance.
"Where are you from?" Shen Xiqiao took over and played with it.
Li Mingcian said truthfully and pointed to the wall: "I picked it up over there." ”
Shen Xiqiao looked at the place she was pointing, and then raised his hand and pressed the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard. When the chess pieces touch the chessboard, they seem to be attracted by something, and then the chess pieces quickly change on the chessboard.
After the three sounds of "Kela, Kala, Kala", three stone doors appeared in other directions, except for the road from which they came, which did not open.
Each stone door is painted with an image of a woman.
The women are gorgeous, and each picture is dressed up, but it doesn't look like the costumes of the people of this dynasty.
Shen Xiqiao looked at the three pictures in front of him and looked at them carefully for a while: "This seems to be a tomb in the previous dynasty, I don't know which noble it is." ”
The three pictures are spring, summer, and autumn in the four seasons of the women. Presumably the picture they came in was winter.
Li Mingcian looked at the three doors and didn't know which one to go, so he walked to the door with a torch and took a closer look.
The drawings on the three doors are all beautiful, but one of them seems to be a little worn out, and the lack of paint is a bit severe.
Shen Xiqiao stood in front of the door and looked at it for a long time, and then resolutely opened the worn door.
The door opened, and a stone room opposite was lit, and the ground was in shambles, presumably by tomb robbers.
Li Mingcian looked back at the stone door, and sure enough, there were traces of violently opened in the back, which was similar to what she imagined.
There were doors and holes in this stone room that the tomb robbers had opened, and Shen Xiqiao and Li Mingcian continued to move forward hand in hand.
Shen Xiqiao looked at the little girl beside him, and only felt that she had too many surprises for herself. It's so calm in such a dangerous place, and it seems to know a lot...... How did she get arrested? What about Banyue and Li Chunhe?
Shen Xiqiao felt very puzzled, he looked at the road and asked Li Mingchan, "How did you get arrested?"
Li Mingcian gave him a blank look: "Isn't it to save you?"
"What about Half Moon and Haru and sister?"
"They went back to report it. ”
To be honest, Li Mingcian felt that Shen Xiqiao was quite surprising to her, she was very calm in the face of danger, and her IQ was not affected at all. Moreover, it was really good to her, and when the wall was blown up, he also protected her under him.
When they went further out, the road was open, and they didn't have to walk long before they came to the end.
It was a thief hole that was hit from the ground to the ground, and through the thief hole, you could see the sky that was already dark. The stars in the sky look very beautiful in the hole.
Li Mingcian looked at the high thief hole, and then looked at the not very tall young man Shen Xiqiao, and asked very hesitantly: "Let's ...... Are you still going out?"
Shen Xiqiao squatted down and looked up at Li Mingcian: "Go out." You step on my shoulder, climb out first, and then find something to pull me up. ”
Li Mingcian felt that it was feasible, so he climbed onto the shoulder of the Shenxi Bridge. Shen Xiqiao straightened down slightly, Li Mingcian stepped on his shoulders with both feet, and then supported the cave wall with both hands.
Shen Xiqiao slowly got up, and Li Mingcicada also trembled and rose. Unfortunately, it still can't be reached.
"If you can't reach it, you can let me go. Li Mingcian said to Shen Xiqiao.
Shen Xiqiao slowly squatted down as he said and let Li Mingcian climb down.
After walking for half a day, Li Mingciao's legs and feet were very sore, and Shen Xiqiao was pampered on weekdays, and he was even more tired enough.
Shen Xiqiao stood up from the ground: "No, we can't be here now, if the fire attracts bad people, we won't lose more than we gain." ”
Li Mingcian thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. So the two men went back to the tomb and found a stone chamber and hid in it.
The stone chamber was very hidden, only half a meter high, and had not been opened by tomb robbers.
That stone chamber was discovered by Li Mingcian when he touched the wall, and he couldn't find it at all if he didn't look carefully.
The door of the stone chamber was pushed open with force, and the two of them waited for the old atmosphere inside to dissipate, and then made sure that the air was fresh before they got inside.
There is an offering table in the stone room, and there are many incense candles under the offering table. There was also a whole porcelain bottle of lamp oil next to it. Shen Xiqiao poured lamp oil into the oil lamp and lit it, and then lit incense candles.
There is a portrait of a beautiful woman painted on the wall, which is painted on that door. It's just that the one on the wall is more vivid, making a smile like a flower, smiling smartly, and looking forward to life.
Shen Xiqiao took the incense and bowed to the painting on the wall, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner. Seeing this, Li Mingcian also bowed.
In addition to the incense case, there are only a few futons and a few wooden boxes in the stone room.
Li Mingcian and Shen Xiqiao didn't dare to touch each other, but each of them divided a few futons, spread them on the ground and lay on them.
Li Mingciao's body was in pain, she shook her arm and closed her eyes: "I can't bear Shenxi Bridge, I'm sleeping." ”
Shen Xiqiao lay down and looked at her and smiled: "Sleep." ”
Li Mingcian fell asleep in seconds.
Shen Xiqiao looked at Li Mingciao's sleeping face, but it was a little difficult to sleep.
I don't know who took him captive, and what my mother had asked her to settle has not yet been placed.
Shen Xiqiao looked at Li Mingciao's slightly open mouth, and also pursed his lips and smiled: "I don't want to think too much, let's go to bed first." ”
Glancing at Li Mingcian again before closing his eyes, he felt very down-to-earth in his heart.
The two children woke up from a long sleep, and they were woken up by the noise in the tomb.
The two men rubbed their eyes and looked at each other, then blew out the lights in the stone chamber.
Quietly opened a little crack in the door of the stone room, and a stream of bloody gas floated in.
Shen Xiqiao gently closed the stone gate, leaned his back against it, and then leaned on Li Mingciao's ear and said, "We can't go out, something is wrong outside, it seems that a lot of people have died." ”
Li Mingcian pulled Shen Xiqiao's sleeve tightly, and then took two futons to the door, and the two children sat at the door one by one, leaning their backs against the stone gate.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'll protect you. Shen Xiqiao gently hugged Li Mingciao's shoulders to comfort her.
Li Mingcian touched the explosives in his arms and felt very safe.
"Don't be afraid, I still have a 'little cicada' here. Li Mingcian whispered.
Shen Xiqiao didn't know what Li Mingcian was talking about, he felt that what she said might be the strange stone.
"Is it the stone?" asked Shen Xiqiao with hope. You know, he's been thinking about explosives for a long time.
Li Mingcian felt that it should be okay to tell Shen Xiqiao, this kid was very strict-mouthed.
"Yes, 'Little Cicada' is my name, it's actually also called 'explosives', and it's extremely lethal when it explodes things. Li Mingcian explained softly, "You have to keep this secret, this stone was given to me by a bearded old man, and he said that he didn't have the ability to guard that thing." ”
"Then why didn't he hand it over to the imperial court?" Shen Xiqiao was puzzled.
"He said, 'The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty', and he is afraid, just like the story of Na and Shibi. Li Mingcian explained softly.
Shen Xiqiao didn't ask anymore, and only listened silently to the movement outside the door.
The fighting outside the door stopped, and a group of people began to crack and look for something.
"Those two little ones can't get out, they must be hiding here. A man outside shouted angrily.
Shen Xiqiao was very nervous when he heard this, and he also wanted to find something to defend himself. He felt that the villains who were looking for them outside were their captives.
Shen Xiqiao stood up, and Li Mingcian grabbed him nervously.
Shen Xiqiao patted her hand soothingly, and then groped for the edge of the table, and he fumbled and grabbed the incense burner.
His subordinates pulled the incense burner hard, but they didn't move. Shen Xiqiao was very surprised, his subordinates continued to exert force, only to hear the sound of the cha under the incense burner.
Li Mingcian also heard it, and she reached towards the source of the sound. Shen Xiqiao whispered: "There is a mechanism here. ”
"Hmm. Li Mingcian responded, "You continue." ”
Shen Xiqiao gritted his teeth and broke the incense burner, only to hear a "click" under his feet, and the two of them fell into the air.
Li Mingcian didn't even have time to scream, so he went underground with Shenxi Bridge.
The slate above their heads snapped shut, and the two men fell on their butts on a layer of mold.
"!" Li Mingcian touched the mold in his hand.
Shen Xiqiao was also disgusted, and reached out and groped to pull Li Mingcian to stand up.
The two men clawed in the ground where they couldn't see their fingers.
"Shen Xiqiao, you take off your clothes, why don't you light the way. Li Mingcian instructed Shen Xi Bridge.
Shen Xiqiao obediently took off his clothes, and then handed them to Li Mingchan.
Li Mingcian took out the flint from his arms and quickly nodded Shen Xiqiao's coat.
By the light of the fire, she found the two of them at the end of a stone road. Under their feet was a pile of moldy grass.
Shen Xiqiao threw his clothes out, and then led Li Mingcian to the wall.
"We're in luck. This is supposed to be the way of escape left for himself by the craftsmen who built the mausoleum. Let's touch this wall and follow the road to get out. Shen Xiqiao said calmly.
The burning clothes burned out, and the stone path fell into darkness again. Li Mingcian took Shen Xiqiao's hand, Shenxi Bridge touched the stone wall, and the two of them stumbled out.
The road ahead was smooth until ......
Li Mingcian tripped over something so hard that she fell to the ground and her knees hurt.
Shen Xiqiao fumbled to pull her: "What's wrong with you?"
Li Mingcian touched the things under his hand, and there were holes in them, and there seemed to be teeth below. That's supposed to be - skeletons!
"Shenxi Bridge. Li Mingciao's voice trembled a little, "I touched the human skull." Over here...... Will there be beasts here?"
