Chapter 358
Gu Xici was shocked, and it seemed that if he made a mistake, he might fall down.
"Are you alright?" Seeing that Gu Xici's whole person was a little uneasy, Chu Jin asked, "Can I come over?" "
"Wait for you to follow my instructions, come slowly, don't worry!" Gu Xiqi walked forward by himself, but he had already remembered the road he had just walked in his heart.
Chu Jin followed her step by step as Gu Xici said, and the two of them walked forward cautiously.
Seeing that he was about to reach the edge of this floor tile, Gu Xici couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
There's one last piece!
The person they designed this mausoleum was very powerful, and it seemed that she was also very proficient in mathematics, and Gu Xici felt that she was trembling at every step of the way.
"You can rest for a while, and I'll do the rest." Chu Jin stood in a grid behind Gu Xici, from Gu Xici's guidance just now, he found the law, she didn't need Gu Xici to speak at all, she knew where she should go next.
"It's okay, I can do it." Gu Xici shook his head.
Since the other party said so, Chu Jin didn't insist, and followed her silently, his eyes kept looking at Gu Xici, for fear that she would fall down if she was not careful.
Despite their caution, what they had been fearing came true.
After Gu Xici stepped on the last brick, suddenly the entire ground suddenly shook like an earthquake, and the bricks that were originally next to Chu Jin gradually fell downward.
"Hurry up, jump here!" Gu Xici stood in a safe place and shouted at Chu Jin.
But because of the shaking, the last step was far apart, and Chu Jin's next step couldn't be opened.
Seeing that the bricks falling behind him were about to spread towards their place, Gu Xi's eyes were quick, and Chu Jin also seemed to have made up his mind, and jumped towards a safe position......
"Hoo ......"
After Chu Jin left those bricks, the ones that originally fell seemed to stop in front of the last brick. Thinking of the thrilling scene just now, the two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Tell you to hurry up, why are you moving so slowly!" Gu Xici looked at the person next to him and asked with a pant. God knew her heart was going to jump out just now.
"I'm sorry, I'm holding back." Chu Jin was a little sorry.
"Forget it, I won't pursue you." Gu Xici continued to walk forward, while Chu Jin also smiled and followed behind her.
"You said that if I fell just now, would you come down and save me?" Chu Jin asked.
"I want to live a few more years! And why save you, if I don't save you, I'm still free! Gu Xici snorted, but what he said was against his will, which made Chu Jin next to him laugh.
"I saw it just now, and you almost rushed over when you stood there, and you said you weren't worried about me!"
"Why, you're wrong." Gu Xi's words were insincere.
Chu Jin nodded as if he didn't see it.
"It seems that there is an earthquake at every turn in this imperial tomb, and it seems that our road will not be peaceful. "Not long after they came in, they had already been frightened a few times, and then they didn't know how many questions were waiting for them.
"It's okay, I will always be with you, if something really happens to you, I am not as conscienceless as you, I will do my best to save you, live together, die together!" Chu Jin patted his chest and reassured.
Hearing Chu Jin say this, Gu Xici was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, "What is born and dies together, people must be self-motivated when they live, and they think about how to die all day long!" Look at how old you are now, and there are still a lot of things waiting for you to try after that, and now you are going to die or live, what will you do in the future? Don't you have any regrets? ”
Hearing Gu Xici say this, Chu Jin really pondered for a while, and replied: "I really have one regret thing, I haven't officially visited you yet!" ”
Gu Xici was stunned for a moment, and then heard Chu Jin say: "Ci'er, can you help me fulfill this wish?" If we can get out of here smoothly, we will go to the church and become a real couple, shall we? ”
Chu Jin's face no longer had the joking appearance he had before, but a serious attitude that made Gu Xici a little unaccustomed.
"Okay." Gu Xici looked at Chu Jin's eyes. She didn't know why, at this moment she wanted to be with this man, and from Chu Jin's eyes, she seemed to see the same idea from the other party.
There is no King Zhao and Princess Zhao, let alone a political marriage royal conspiracy, there is you and me, the two of us who are happy with each other, we want to be together for the rest of our lives.
From beginning to end, it was Chu Jin and the Prime Minister's family who asked Gu Xi to resign from the past, and she did not express her position as a party from beginning to end. But now, in her heart, it is voluntary.
Looking at each other and smiling, the two of them continued to walk forward, careful of everything under their feet, for fear of encountering the situation just now again.
"It's the wall again!" The two of them made it all the way to the end, but they were blocked by a wall.
"Maybe it's the same as before, there will be a mechanism here!"
Gu Xici searched around with an oil lamp, and finally saw a loose stone in a dark place under the corner.
"This is it!" Chu Jin pulled Gu Xiqi aside, stretched out his foot and lightly touched the mechanism.
Sure enough, a "squeak" was heard.
Just as they were paying all their attention to the wall in front of them that was about to open, they didn't pay attention to the soles of their feet, and the two of them fell down one after another.
"Be careful!" At the last moment, Chu Jin waved his long arm and hugged Gu Xici in his arms.
Gu Xici only felt that he was weightless, and his whole person was falling rapidly. She couldn't help but close her eyes, maybe this time she was really going to sleep here with Chu Jin.
Suddenly, Gu Xici only felt that he was still.
She opened her eyes and looked at the small space around her, her waist being tightly wrapped around her waist.
"Chu Jin?" Gu Xici subconsciously stretched out her feet to feel if she could touch the ground, but she didn't expect that there was still an abyss under her feet.
"It's good to have your dagger, otherwise we're going to turn into mud if we go on like this!" Chu Jin's voice came from above her head, she raised her head, only to see Chu Jin take out her dagger with one hand and stick it in the wall without knowing when, while the other hand was tightly placed on her waist.
But despite this, because of gravity, Gu Xici felt that he was still sliding down.
"It's too early to say, if this stalemate continues, it's only a matter of time before it falls into a patty." Gu Xici could already feel Chu Jin's hands trembling, and she wanted to climb on the wall with both hands, but she couldn't hold it steady.
"It's okay, it's really going down then, and I'll be with you, it's pretty good to think about it!" Chu Jin's voice also began to tremble, he was not in good health, and now he was hanging on the wall, just relying on this dagger, not only that, but he was also holding Gu Xici in his arms, even if he was a normal man, he was almost physically strong.
Listening to what Chu Jin said, Gu Xici felt a sour feeling in his heart.
If it was before, she would definitely have to educate him well. I just said the truth that life is precious, and I also told him about the necessity of living, but why didn't this person listen?
But at this moment, Gu Xici couldn't say a word.
"You let me go, so you still have the strength to climb up slowly." Gu Xici said softly. If she sacrificed herself in exchange for Chu Jin, then this deal would be worth it.
"It's too late!" Chu Jin's hand pulled Gu Xiqi towards him again, "Even if I put you down now, I will go down with you in a while, it's impossible to climb up, it's better for us to fall down together, it's better to have a companion, isn't it?" ”
Gu Xi smiled.
Chu Jin's back and forehead were already covered with beads of sweat, and his hands were becoming more and more slippery because of sweating.
This similar scene reminded Gu Xiqi of the trap in the grove that night, and the two of them were the same. However, the identities of the two of them have changed from that time, but different people, at the same juncture, made the same decision.
"Did I tell you?" Chu Jin was already very tired, and his voice had begun to tremble a little, "I don't like black, and I don't like to stay in the dark. ”
"You're afraid of the dark?" Gu Xici was a little surprised, if it wasn't for Chu Jin taking the initiative to reveal it, she really didn't know that Chu Jin, who usually had a calm face, would be afraid of the darkness.
"Didn't I stay in the Imperial Tomb at that time? I stayed alone in such a large mausoleum for seven days, seven whole days, and at first I found the place where there was an oil lamp, but for the next few days I kept going down, and all I was greeted by darkness. ”
Gu Xici didn't dare to imagine how long a person could hold out in the unknown darkness, but she knew that if it was her, she might not be able to hold on as early as the first day, and Chu Jin actually held on for seven days.
The sweat on Chu Jin's hands became more and more, and Gu Xici felt that the hand that was tightly hugging his waist had already wet his clothes.
"It seems that this time we have run out of good luck." Chu Jin's voice was full of tremors, and the hands he held the dagger slowly retreated from the wall.
"Listen? Is there a sound? Suddenly, Gu Xici asked.
"Huh?"
"Shh......h In the walls, there is the sound of the wind! Gu Xici was a little excited, since he could hear the wind, then there would definitely be a secret door below!
But Chu Jin couldn't help frowning.
"Excuse me, that doesn't seem to be a rumor."
Gu Xici just wanted to listen to it again, but he also found something unusual.
That voice really wasn't the sound of the wind.
"Shhh...... Hiss ......"
There was the sound of something sliding against the wall.
Gu Xici instantly got goosebumps.
"I know, this is a snake ......" Chu Jin's words verified Gu Xici's thoughts.
Like her, she is not afraid of heaven and earth in her life, and what she is most afraid of is snakes. She remembers that she went to the zoo once and unintentionally went to the snake zoo and ran out with weak legs.
But she never expected that she would encounter the animal she hated the most at such a life-and-death juncture.
"I'd rather be killed than be their dinner." Gu Xici gritted his teeth and said.
Although it was very dark inside, Gu Xici couldn't see the things below, but listening to the wriggling sound, he knew that there must be countless golden pythons lying underneath.
"This is the imperial mausoleum, and the snake is also called the earth dragon, which was specially raised by the emperor to guard this mausoleum." Chu Jin explained, "Not only that, most of these are poisonous snakes, but there are also some tomb robbers with bad intentions, who may also be bitten to death by snakes." ”
This mausoleum seems to have been visited by no one for a long time, and suddenly two such vivid beings appeared, and the snakes below seemed to be extremely excited, and Gu Xici seemed to be able to hear the sound of them sticking out their tongues.
"Is there a way you can get rid of them?" Gu Xici's voice was full of crying, she really didn't like this creature.
"Poof, even if there is now, there is no condition!" Chu Jin smiled helplessly, "I didn't expect you to be afraid of this kind of thing like a woman!" ”
"What's the matter, it's not normal to be afraid of snakes! You're still afraid of the dark! ”
Chu Jin, who was exposed to his old secret, couldn't help but snort, he seemed to have found a lady who held a grudge!
"Okay, okay, if they do climb up, I'll throw you against the wall, you have to hold on tightly, and then I'll go down and serve their dinner first, maybe they'll be full of me, and I'm not interested in you!" Chu Jin said comfortingly.
However, he was a little surprised that he didn't receive a reply from Gu Xici, which made him want to look down.
"There's something here." Gu Xici didn't answer just now, just because when her feet were struggling, it seemed as if she had kicked a ring-shaped thing.
"What?"
"It's like a pull ring, and if it is, there should be a door underneath." Gu Xiqi was excited, and seemed to forget that there was a snake next to him, "Quick, you let me go down a little longer, I'll go see if that door can be opened!" ”
Chu Jin stretched out his foot next to Gu Xici, "You hold me and go down slowly to see, I can still hold on." ”
Gu Xici looked at Chu Jin with some concern, but what if it was just an exit? Gritted his teeth and slowly descended along Chu Jin's body.
The snake was right in front of her, and when she saw Gu Xi resigning, she stuck out her tongue even more happily.
Gu Xici forgot for a moment that there was a snake waiting for her here, and when she heard the "hissing" sound next to her ear, and gradually approached her, she panicked, and took out something from her waist casually with her hand, and waved it there.
She was holding a fire fold in her hand, and when she opened it, a flame burst out.
The python didn't expect a fire to suddenly erupt, and immediately retracted its head back out, and the firelight also allowed Gu Xici to see the things on the wall clearly.
It turned out to be a knocker.
Gu Xici was overjoyed in his heart, hugged Chu Jin's feet tightly with one hand, and pulled the door knocker back with the other.
"Ah......" Gu Xici suddenly exerted force, making Chu Jin careless, and the hand holding the dagger fell another centimeter.
"Are you alright?" Gu Xici was so excited all of a sudden that he didn't notice Chu Jin's situation, "I saw it, this is really a knocker, it just can't be opened!" ”
"It's okay, I can still hold on, you have to work harder!" Chu Jin gritted his teeth and tried to hook the dagger with both hands.
Gu Xici also gritted his teeth, and then pulled the door knocker back.
But the knocker didn't move.
"Grass, why can't you pull it open!" Gu Xici was so anxious that he cursed and kicked at the small ring.
"Coax!"
I only heard a boom, and in half of Gu Xici's body, a door about half a person suddenly opened.
"It worked!"
