Chapter 10: The Great Crisis
After the stone door opened, we walked in one after another, the space inside seemed to be very large, and the general flashlight could only be seen vaguely, so the four of them simply changed their wolf eyes. At this moment, the scene presented in front of us instantly made everyone freeze, and even forgot to breathe.
As predicted, this is Guyuetan. Just looking at the previous painting, you can't appreciate the wonder of this place. I don't even know how to describe it, but it is surrounded by stone walls more than 20 meters high, and the surface is covered with small emerald green lenses, and the light of the flashlight reflects the illusory colors of light and shadow. About three meters above the ground, there will be a small cave at intervals, and it looks like it is artificially excavated, but if you look at a single one, it looks more like a natural cave. What's inside, no one knows. The roof of the cave is arched, and there seems to be text or patterns on it, but it is too far away, and the light here is not very good to see clearly.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the ancient Yue Pond in the center. The water is dark green, but surprisingly clear, and I don't know what composition of the liquid is. The pool was surrounded by clusters of crystals about the size of the stone walls, but each one was surprisingly large, half a man's height, like huge turquoise crystals placed there for decoration.
Wu Laosi was the first to react, and immediately rushed forward, holding those huge crystals and looking: "It's jade!" It's a fine jadeite! Hearing him shout, Gu Fei and Ah Bang also threw down their backpacks and rushed over.
I'm still stunned, not because I'm noble and not moved by money, but because it's too similar, it's just in a dream, this pool of water, this green scene, I can't tell the difference between reality and dreams.
There is no exit in the dream, so ......
I suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the time, where else was the stone gate? There were identical stone walls on all sides, and I panicked in my heart, and suddenly my whole body lost strength, and I kept breaking out in a cold sweat: we are trapped and dead here!
Obviously, I have encountered such a situation in my dreams for three years, and I didn't pay attention to it when I came in. I sat there and looked at the three people across from me who were ecstatic because of the huge emerald. No matter how big the jadeite is, the most wealth, once you can't even save your life, what is the point of these things? It's really in response to the old saying, there is a life to make money, but there is no life to spend.
Gu Fei was the first to notice my abnormality and waved at me: "Lingyi! What a daze! Come here! ”
The excited voice, completely unaware of the fact that death was already creeping towards us. Grandpa Tai and his party have never gone out since they entered here, and the crazy person is also hideous, like a ghost, it will definitely not just trap us here, there must be some greater crisis. Is it an ambush in the cave, or will it be the ugliness of the human heart?
I walked over and looked down at them helplessly, Gu Fei didn't expect me to have such a look, and was startled by me. I pointed with my flashlight in the direction of the stone gate in front of me: "We are trapped to death." ”
Almost instantly, everyone's smiles froze, and Abang was the first to jump up, ran over and lay down on the wall, to see if he could find a gap, and when he came back, he shook his head, his face was like ashes.
I leaned there, not saying a word. Everyone did not speak, and I only felt that silence would cause greater uneasiness and suspicion. Everyone began to watch out for each other and hugged their backpacks tightly. In this trapped situation, the reserve food in the bag has become the most precious thing, and no one knows how long they will be trapped here, maybe someone will get out by luck, or maybe they will die here.
The atmosphere became more and more depressing, Gu Fei and I got together, back to back, watching out for Wu Laosi and Ah Bang together, in terms of skill and cunning, the two of us will definitely not be their opponents.
I'm still holding on to the luck mentality: "Actually, there may not be no other exit." I paused, cleared my throat, and was silent for a long time, but it was too depressed, and my voice was unconsciously hoarse, "More than sixty years ago, my grandfather brought people here, and they must have been trapped like us, but there was one person, he escaped. ”
These words undoubtedly gave everyone a little confidence, but no one dared to act rashly.
Wu Laosi glared at me, glanced at the three of us a few times, and spat: "Sitting here is only waiting for death." With that, he grabbed his backpack and stood up, looking at the cave in the stone wall.
These caves are neither big nor small, barely large enough for a person to crawl forward. Wu Laosi asked Ah Bang to support him below, then tied a rope around his waist, and casually climbed into a cave. I don't know whether to say that he is courageous or ignorant and fearless. In such a strange place, you dare to find a cave so casually and climb into it.
Gu Fei and I leaned to the side and looked at them quietly, before we reached the point of desperation, there was no need to risk our lives, and there were so many caves, who knew which one would lead to the outside?
Instead of running around like a headless fly, think about any clues. I sat down and took out the content that I had copied from the bamboo slip from my backpack, in order to prevent Wu Laosi from snatching it, I specially brought the seal book version, so that I was probably the only one who could understand the content here, which was also a life-saving "trump card".
I only paid attention to the information about the entrance on the bamboo slips, and I didn't have time to carefully scrutinize the other contents. I looked at the back paragraph, and it seemed to say that there was a treasure hidden in this place, and the description of this was: the son of the water spirit, spitting jade books; Qilin Yi Pei, Department and Confucius; auspicious and auspicious, but trouble; Hidden in precious jade, sealed in Bodhi; With one heart and one palm, it is as if it were coming.
I was concentrating on the content recorded above, wondering if this would be what my grandfather was looking for, when I heard Wu Laosi scream, I was startled, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, Ah Bang immediately pulled the rope out, and Gu Fei and I also rushed over.
When he pulled it out, one of Wu Laosi's arms was gone, it was a bite off, and his face and body were full of scratches.
As soon as I pulled him out, I heard the sound of rustling and gnawing from inside the cave.
Wu Laosi kept twitching, and it must have felt uncomfortable to be bitten off one of his arms. Abang was so skilled that he bandaged him roughly to prevent infection or excessive blood loss. Wu Laosi was obviously frightened, except for convulsions, he was motionless, his pupils constricted, and his eyes widened.
We fell silent again, no one dared to climb into any of the holes rashly, if these holes were the lair of the monsters that attacked Wu Laosi, then this number was really terrifying, and suddenly felt that this was hell, a hell that was so green that it was suffocating.
I saw that Ah Bang took out a few guns from his backpack and threw them to me and Gu Fei: "Will you use it?" "I haven't ever held a real gun, but I've played with a model gun before, so I guess it's about the same.
Abang asked us to look at the point and demonstrated how to make a gun, and he looked like a veteran at a glance, and the action was done in one go. The gunfire was so loud in the hole that it startled me, but I calmed down immediately, if those things were out of the nest, we would definitely die, but fortunately, we were safe now.
We surrounded Wu Lao in the middle, facing all sides, and as soon as there was any movement, we immediately opened fire. I felt nervous like never before, my breath was a little short, and I thought I would go crazy if I stayed like this.
It may be the smell of blood on Wu Laosi's body, I gradually heard the same rustling sound from the caves around me, and suddenly got goosebumps, Gu Fei too, the hand holding the gun seemed to be very uneasy, but Abang was as calm as ever, like a soldier who had experienced a hundred battles.
