(Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the day of reunion, Code Code is here to wish friends: "Happy New Year, all the best, the Year of the Rooster is blessed!")

Gu Xiu and You Hua looked at each other, and then ordered a few brothers to find a hidden place and guard outside, with Dai Ze, who was agile on his hands and feet, going down to the ground first, and the snoopers following behind to show the way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When I first entered, there was still a faint light in the secret passage, and I could see the narrow staircase of earth, followed by the cold air and the rotten smell of warm and moist earth, which was mixed with the stench of urine incontinence of the prying eye.

Gu Xiu didn't care about any smell, he asked the snooper if he had the tools to light the fire, the snooper shivered and took out the flint and steel of the Western Regions from his waist pocket, he was tortured not like a human being, and he had long lost his strength, so he could only hand the flint and steel to Dai Ze at the front, Dai Ze waved his hands, and the stone made a crisp friction sound in the silent space, as if knocking on a person's heart.

The snooper pointed to him to the earthen wall, which was lit like a silk of wood, and in the middle was a torch, which was stained with oil, and the sparks of flint fell on the wood like fireflies, and soon ignited. The wood curls and shrinks, and burns all at once, and in the area where the torch is placed, there is a mask with a sad expression, the mask has deep sunken eye sockets, sharp corners of the eyes, and a high nose bridge, which seems to be smiling but not smiling, giving people an extremely sinister feeling, suddenly seeing such a face in the firelight, Dai Ze was startled, and the flint fell on the mud floor.

Gu Xiu was bold, but he didn't like the trembling feeling of the mask, he took out the pig-killing knife, and split the mask in half with an expressionless face, and when the mask fell to the ground, the snooper stammered excitedly: "You...... This is...... It's ......"

He was so angry that he couldn't do it, but he could only be angry, Gu Xiu ignored him, and said to the Han army outside: "Close the thorn soil skin, you hide in the tree!" After giving the order, he pushed the Loulan snoopers and let Dai Ze continue to move forward.

The secret passage is very simple, it is a passage that is hand-chiseled, except for a pair of strange masks hanging, there is nothing, Huo Meng said that this mask seems to be wearing on the face of the villains in Loulan at that time, and now I see it, as if they are in front of him, it is especially terrifying.

Gu Xiu said coldly: "A dead thing is a dead thing, what are you afraid of him doing!"

These words made Huo Meng smile embarrassedly, he didn't dare to say more, but he didn't know why, the Han army was obviously afraid of these hideous masks, but they always couldn't help but look at those strange things, but Master Qin was afraid and didn't dare to look at it, and Gu Xiu walked in the secret passage as if he had never seen it.

Gu Xiu felt that although the secret passage was clear at a glance, it gave people a particularly depressing feeling because of the existence of those masks, and it was obvious that this path was constantly going down, Gu Xiu's feet felt cold, it was undulating, and it was not a straight line to the end, there were bends, it was very circuitous. Fortunately, there was no fork in the road, otherwise Gu Xiu would have to wonder if there was something wrong with the path led by the snooper.

In this way, the mountain road took a little time, and Gu Xiu thought to himself: "Out of this road, what kind of place will you go? Will there be a large number of people happily talking about the massacre by the stream? After they go out, will there be a bunch of people holding sharp arrows and aiming them at the center of their eyebrows?"

Halfway through, the snooper had another seizure, Gu Xiu gave him a pill to control the attack of Gu poison, the snooper twitched on the ground for a long time, until Gu Xiu urged him to get up and continue to move forward, he wilted, and looked at Gu Xiu helplessly.

When the road came to an end, Gu Xiu's breathing became short, and all the guesses were about to be revealed at this moment, Gu Xiu held a lit torch in his hand, and asked Dai Ze, who didn't know what to do, and looked back at him, to open the door of the secret passage.

Dai Ze got Gu Xiu's order, cautiously walked up the stairs, reached out to push the door, the door made a "squeak-" grinding sound, Dai Ze frowned, closed his eyes, and controlled his heartbeat.

The air outside slowly flowed into the secret passage, but the air was not fresh, and there was an indescribable smell...... Gu Xiu frowned, grabbed the snooper's arm and said, "What the hell is it up there, how can there be a strange smell?"

The corner of the snooper's mouth grinned a hint of solemnity, and said, "You go up and see...... Isn't it...... Don't you know?"

"Wang Ba Lamb, do you want us to die?" Huo Meng felt that something was wrong and said emotionally.

The snooper glanced at him slowly, and said with contempt, "You will not die...... This is where we live, and this smell is the smell of our tribe!"

Gu Xiu knew that if he retreated now, the evil spirits in his heart would not agree, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the air flowing outside, there was the sound of rustling leaves being blown by the wind, but there were no footsteps, no human voices, there should be a forest above, nothing else.

Hearing this, he slowly calmed down in his heart, turned back to Huo Meng and said: "Look at this person, Dai Ze, you come down, I'll go up first, no matter what is up there, those who block our way, kill!" He said cleanly, giving some encouragement to the Han soldiers who were faintly uneasy behind.

Dai Ze didn't have to take risks on his own, he breathed a sigh of relief, he gently closed the small door that opened, and then came to the snooper, Gu Xiu bypassed the two of them, and walked up the uneven stairs without hesitation.

When his hand touched the door, he took a light breath, and the sound of the door was like a tense bow and arrow, and as soon as he squeaked, the hearts of the Han soldiers were raised.

Gu Xiu held his hand against the door, slightly revealing half of his face, the sky in the Western Regions was darker than the Central Plains, the outside was as blue as a deep gem, and all the trees became a strange shadow, Gu Xiu looked carefully, and the Han soldiers behind him were anxiously waiting for his order.

This is an ordinary forest, the branches are relatively dense as where they came before, Gu Xiu turned his head and said in a deep voice: "There is nothing unusual, get ready to go up ......" Just as he spoke, he suddenly heard a hoarse ghost scream, the ghost scream in the empty forest, piercing people's hearts, it looked particularly sad, everyone's faces were stunned, and there was unspeakable horror.

And Gu Xiu held the door, and said without changing his face: "It's a crow, don't make a fuss!" As he spoke, he pushed the door open without hesitation, and in an instant, the cold air poured into the passage, the soldiers shivered, and the torches in Gu Xiu's hands trembled violently.

He leaned out slowly, his eyes scanned the surrounding environment, there was nothing, the forest was very quiet, there was an indescribable sense of dead silence, often the more such an environment, the more danger lurked.

He carried his heart, and there was a little confusion to him, what was the smell in the air, it always felt a little familiar, but he just couldn't remember, what kind of smell was this, the stale smell? The smell that was like a hard object being slowly eroded? He thought about it, he had already walked out of the secret passage, the small figure was in the open field, holding a torch and looking around, Gu Xiu was very confused at that moment, he was here to find the Loulan people, but where were those Loulan murderers? Why is there no trace of anyone living here?
