Chapter 141: The Passage to Hell
The moment the puppet was taken down, the stone gate quickly landed, I flipped on the spot, rolled to the other side, and the bloody man who was unwilling to pounce did not have time to escape, and was directly crushed by the waist, and immediately the flesh and blood flew sideways.
Lying on his back and gasping for breath several times, the pain gradually spread throughout his body. The injured leg was already numb and covered in corpse water, and if it wasn't treated soon, it might not be long before it suppurated. The bullet was still in my right shoulder, and I could clearly feel a foreign object entering my body.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Xiao came over, her body was also full of wounds of all sizes, and her short coat was almost torn, unkempt, and embarrassed.
Struggling to sit up, shaking his head a few times, sobering up for a while, his vision was still a little blurry, and he was stunned for a long time before he looked at the corpse under the stone door again: "It's okay." ”
Xiao Xiao is really a woman who can't be underestimated, and in this case, she can not panic at all, and use this only tool to take out the bullet on my right shoulder and do a simple wound treatment.
By this time, the alcohol, bandages, and so on had all been used up. All that was left was a dagger, two sabers, a pair of dolls, a pistol, and a couple of magazines, and then a flashlight, a headlamp, and two compressed biscuits.
I sniffed and rested against the stone door for a while, before I cheered up, and my vision gradually cleared. The illumination of the headlamp is already very strong, and the other side of the stone door is cloudy due to the light-absorbing material.
In front of it are hundreds of gray-white staircases, five or six meters wide, and the light shines down, dark and bottomless. It's like going straight to hell. Staring at the mysterious black, I suddenly felt that some ghosts and basilisks would suddenly jump out of it.
There is nothing here except the stairs, and if you want to survive, then there is only this one way in front of you.
As soon as he struggled to stand up and took two steps down, he was stopped by Xiao Xiao: "Wait a minute, I'll go down first." ”
"I'll do it anyway." Let a woman play as a striker, even if I scrap it, I won't be so useless, right?
Each staircase is narrow, just enough for one foot to step on. On the walls on either side are huge reliefs. Arm-thick ropes hung along the road. The lights shone through, and they were all rusty.
The top is arched, with intermittent rows of one-meter-long thorns, like tusks in the mouth of a beast.
Xiao Xiao pointed to the place about fifty or sixty steps below. patted me: "Yang Lingyi." Look at that. ”
Follow her fingers. I turned my eyes down from above, and when I looked at it, it was a sculpture. Almost blocking the way down, leaving only a little distance on both sides, and will be enough to pass sideways.
In such a place, it is unreasonable and inexplicable to put such a wide statue without preventing people from continuing downward.
The sculpture is a group, in the center is an angry ghost, with a human head and a fish body, long hair showing a raging and insolent posture, a hideous and painful face, hands clamped by iron cables, and a fishtail nailed to death by a long sword.
I know this long sword, it is the one used by Baili, and the sword body is a diamond-shaped pattern.
Around the ghosts were a circle of kneeling figures, all with their mouths wide open, their heads tilted up, their arms raised, and they "pounced" on the statue in the middle in an extremely strange manner.
I'm used to seeing horrible and disgusting things, but this statue didn't give me much of a spiritual impact, just that I felt weird.
Xiao Xiao looked at it very carefully, and almost climbed up to check it, and it took a long time to point to the statue in the middle with some uncertainty and ask: "Do you think you seem to have seen this anywhere?" ”
"Huh?" If you really want to say it, it really feels familiar, and I went around again, thought about it carefully, and when I saw its back, I suddenly remembered, "That corpse in the Lishan tomb?!" ”
No wonder it feels hideous, the face of the main owner itself is very weird. Suddenly, it was as if I saw the face full of fine and dense fish scales swaying in front of me. Overgrown with scales, the distance between the eyes is twice that of ordinary people, the bridge of the nose is collapsed, and almost only two nostrils can be seen, so it's strange if it's not hideous!
It's just that this is now the stronghold of the mysterious man, and this kind of statue is placed here, does this mysterious person have anything to do with the fish man in the coffin?
I didn't stay long, I continued to climb another one or two hundred floors, and I resumed the scene I had seen before, except for the reliefs, iron cables, and intermittent bent thorns, nothing else.
Walking through it, except for the sound of breathing and footsteps, none of us spoke, and gradually even the senses were a little numb, Xiao Xiao stepped on the air and almost fell down.
"Take a break." Human energy is limited, and repeating the same action will exacerbate fatigue and loss of senses, and if you just roll down like this, you don't know how long it will take to get to the end.
As soon as I finished speaking, I found that there was a fork in the stairs further down, so I asked Xiao Xiao to stay where I was, and I took the lead in climbing down to take a look. If there is a fork in the road, it is not so simple, and I wonder what the trap will be on one side.
I don't believe in the dream that both sides are a way out.
The light shone down, and the two sides were still dark, but the fork on the left reflected a cold light—there was something there.
After hesitating for a moment, he grabbed the iron rope and crawled down towards the fork on the left, and when he got closer, he found that there were rusty blades scattered there, and some tattered and bloodstained clothes.
Windy? How can there be wind in such a closed mountain?!
Quickly crawled back to the fork in the road, apparently someone on the left side of the passage had walked in, what the ending was, it is conceivable that the scattered blades and torn clothes would not have been deliberately dropped, there must be something underneath, not so much the wind just now, but more like the breath of some behemoth.
The fork on the right was silent, nothing, but equally unsettling, as if it had been swallowed up by darkness for eternity, empty and boundless.
Turn back to find Xiao Xiao, she has already walked down, I explained the situation on both sides, and her decision is the same as mine-go to the right.
I'm not an adventurist, and I can't possibly go that way knowing there's something weird on my left.
After walking down for about ten minutes, nothing happened, but it was soon over, no wonder nothing was found along the way, people who have been here see that this is a dead end, of course they will turn back and walk to the left.
There was a faint smell of gunsmoke in the air, and there were explosion marks and knife marks at the base of the wall, which showed how strong the wall was.
In the corner, a string of seal scripts concealed by black was found: sincerity, gold and stone are open.
As long as you are willing to put your mind to it and insist on chiseling slowly, no matter how hard it is, it will be pried open.
Such a simple and crude explanation is only what I think now. Anyway, I won't go to another fork in the road, how can there be a reason to seek the near and far and kill myself, not to mention that with these eight words here, it is impossible to think about it.
Pulled out the dagger and took a long breath, I don't believe it, the ghost door can be chiseled, can it still be chiseled open for you?! (To be continued......)
