Chapter 7: The Underground Maze

There was a figure shaking in front of me, the first one I saw was Bai Ling, and when I looked in that direction, I only saw a figure that was about to disappear. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"It's Xiaofei, that's Gu Xiaofei!" Bai Ling said firmly.

A few of us instantly cheered up, and we didn't have time to gather our equipment before we hurried to the place where the figure was flickering.

We came to the fork in the road again, and were wondering whether to go towards another fork in the road or return to the nearest entrance, when the figure reappeared, at the end of another fork. Now I can see clearly, that figure really looks like Gu Xiaofei.

Without hesitation, the few of us quickly groped in the direction of the figure.

The figure disappeared again, and a large space appeared in front of our eyes.

It's a bomb shelter-like space, and I've observed that there are four passages including the one we're in. We were amazed to find a kerosene lamp burning in this corner. A few of us walked up to the lamp, this light was not bright, only illuminated a small corner nearby, I went up to take a closer look, the lamp oil of this lamp is not like the usual kerosene lamp oil, it is jet black, and the smell is slightly pungent.

We wandered here for a while, Wang Jianguo proposed that we be divided into three groups, me and Bai Ling group, he and Wu Hao each group to search the other three tunnels, because there is no mobile phone signal below, we agreed to search for thirty minutes, if a group reaches a dead end, they will quickly turn back, or if there is any emergency, they should quickly withdraw, and after thirty minutes, if there is no result, they will immediately return to this cave to gather in countermeasures.

We all agreed to Wang Jianguo's plan, I have added a point, it is late at night, this tunnel is very cold, our coats have just burned, after half an hour if there is no progress, we immediately launched the tunnel the same way, thinking of countermeasures, everyone also agreed.

Bai Ling and I chose the tunnel entrance on our left and groped in. There was still deep darkness in front of entering the tunnel, there was no sound at all, maybe it had been a long time since I entered the tunnel, I felt that my mind seemed to be a little drowsy, I asked Bai Ling how she felt, and she was in the same situation.

As we groped our way through the tunnels, I felt my head sink more and more. Bai Ling saw my situation and asked me, "Teacher, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's just that your head is a little heavy, what about you?"

"I'm okay, I don't think this tunnel is as simple as we thought."

After walking for about ten minutes, Bai Ling suddenly pressed my shoulder and whispered, "Teacher, there seems to be a light ahead?" ”

Yes, there was a faint glimmer of light in front of the tunnel, and the two of us cautiously walked forward, and Bai Ling also pulled out the jade-handled dragon pattern dagger that she had been carrying.

As the light drew closer, we found that we had come to a large bomb shelter-like cavern, and the light was coming from the kerosene lamp in the corner, and I looked around with my flashlight, and I gasped, this was the same cavern we had come to before, and we had come back again.

At this time, I found that my head was heavier, and suddenly I felt that it was dark in front of me, and I almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Bai Ling on the side helped me in time, she helped me, and we sat down in the corner of the wall by the oil lamp. I closed my eyes tightly and opened them again to feel better. Bai Ling sat next to me and was still looking around with a flashlight, his other hand clutching the dagger tightly.

I know the tense is serious, and we may have been trapped in this strange tunnel. I looked at the time, more than twenty minutes have passed since we set off, if Wang Jianguo and Wu Hao have no accident, they should be back here in a few minutes. Normally, it should be.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was suddenly a little suffocating here, and Bai Ling on the side also turned off the flashlight, because there was not much power left in the flashlight. Bai Ling rested his head on my shoulder again.

"Is it cold?" I asked Bai Ling

She nodded.

I raised my arm and held her in my arms, her body was a little cold. In this huge cavern, only the two of us can be seen faintly under the faint kerosene lamp.

The time had exceeded the scheduled time by more than ten minutes, and the cave room was still as quiet as death, and Wang Jianguo and Wu Hao still did not come back. After a short break, Bai Ling and I also felt a little clearer. What now?

We have three choices now, one is to enter the tunnel that Wang Jianguo or Wu Hao entered to find them, one is to exit the same way first, and then find a way to find them, and the other is to continue in this cave and wait. In the end, we chose the best way to go back the way we came.

Bai Ling and I stood up with each other, Bai Ling held my hand tightly, and the other hand was still holding the dagger tightly, I picked up the flashlight, we took a look, according to the direction of the oil lamp that came in for the first time, we found the tunnel entrance that came in for the first time.

The flashlight is not as bright as before, we are walking in the tunnel, I vaguely feel that there is something wrong there, walked for about ten minutes, the light of the flashlight has been weak, I hurriedly took out the mobile phone, turned on the flashlight function of the mobile phone, although there is no strong light of the flashlight, but the light of the mobile phone flashlight is divergent, but it illuminates us around a little. I looked at the battery level of the mobile phone and estimated that the lighting of the mobile phone flashlight should last for more than an hour. With Bai Ling's, three hours should be fine.

Bai Ling saw that the flashlight was dead, so he wanted to put it in his pants pocket.

"Don't, Bai Ling, the flashlight is still on the ground." I told Bai Ling.

Although Bai Ling was a little puzzled, he still threw the flashlight on the ground. The reason why I didn't tell Bai Ling right away was because I wanted to verify one thing, a terrible thing.

We walked forward for a while, and a faint light appeared in front of us, and when we saw the light, Bai Ling also instantly said, "Ah! "Yes. What I had a hunch really happened.

We went back to the "cave".

"How is this possible?" Bai Ling exclaimed.

I've already proven a lot of what I expected, and we'll probably have another trip to go. I pulled Bai Ling into the tunnel that Wu Hao had entered without saying anything. This time we picked up the pace. After walking for seven or eight minutes, the two of us found the flashlight that Bai Ling had just discarded here.

At this time, Bai Ling had also regained her composure, and she said to me: "Teacher, this time we turned back and went out from the direction we came in?" ”

I nodded.

A few minutes later we were back in the cave.

We sat under the kerosene lamp again, and now it was time to think about it.

Bai Ling was still snuggled in my arms, and after a while, Bai Ling asked me: "Teacher, is this possible formation, similar to Zhuge Liang's Bagua Array." ”

I shook my head and thought it was unlikely, the so-called Bagua Array was rumored to have been invented by Zhuge Liang, and it was a battle formation arranged according to the direction of the Nine Palaces Bagua and the principle of the Five Elements Shengke, and there were also people trapped in the formation according to the technique of Qimen Dunjia. According to the current analysis, it is a labyrinth of mathematical permutations and combinations. It is possible to get out according to the correct position, but in this strange tunnel, there is a fatal problem that is difficult to explain.

If it was a formation, Wang Jianguo and Wu Hao would also return to this cave room at the end of the tunnel, but after Bai Ling and I turned back for the first time, we waited here for so long and didn't see them come back.

After listening to me, Bai Ling also felt that it made sense, Bai Ling frowned, and suddenly said, "Is this place the same as me・・・・・・"

"Don't go on, this one is even more impossible!" I immediately interrupted Bai Ling's words.

I hugged Bai Ling tightly and said, "I think there is a third possibility?" ”

"What's that?" Bai Ling asked.

"Ghost retaining the wall!"

Bai Ling asked suspiciously, "Teacher, do you still believe that there are ghosts in the world?" ”

I laughed slightly, the ghost retaining wall is just a name. I think we're in the same situation as the dead Zhigang now.

The folk say that the ghost retains the wall, the ghost covers the eyes, etc., means that people in a certain environment, because they are covered by ghosts, they can't get out of the space where they are, just as we learned about the situation before Zhigang's death, how can he not find the home of the person they are staying in, but wanders near the old tree, and finally ・・・・・・

We're in the same situation now, and I don't think we're going to be able to get out of this cavern if we walk the way we do now.

"I don't care, it's the same everywhere with you." Bai Ling said softly, and then slowly closed his eyes.

I shook it vigorously and said, "Bai Ling can't sleep, don't close your eyes now." ”

Bai Ling was also startled, his body trembled, he opened his eyes, and said, "Teacher, what did I just say?" ”

I was also shocked, let go of Bai Ling in my arms, and by the light of my mobile phone, I saw that there was still silence outside.

What seemed to come to my mind? I motioned for Bai Ling not to make a sound, and I picked up my phone and looked at the screen of my phone and stared at it for a while. Just now I saw that the battery of the mobile phone is 73 percent, and now it is 11 percent, and when I consume one percent of the battery, the battery of the mobile phone cannot maintain the normal operation of the flashlight, and this is what I just thought.

I smiled and said leisurely, "You're really good at cooperating." ”

I just finished saying that the flashlight function of the phone has been turned off. Except for the faint glow of the kerosene lamp, the whole cavern was once again plunged into darkness.

Bai Ling was about to take out her mobile phone and open it, when I suddenly pressed her hand and signaled her not to.

I asked, "Bai Ling, what do you say people desire the most when they are in the dark?" ”

Bai Ling replied without thinking: "Bright! ”

"Then in this environment, if we don't have other lighting equipment, are you willing to extinguish this kerosene lamp?" With that, we both set our eyes on the faint kerosene lamp・・・・・・
