It's just not what I expected!

On the back of the stone gate, there is still a long passage. It's just not down, it's ninety degrees straight. In addition, the interval of the night pearl is also farther than the passage with stairs. The way of mosaic, nor is it the left and right walls. Rather, like a chandelier, perpendicular above the head.

This makes the light of the passage a little dim. It looks a little more gloomy and terrifying.

As I was looking, there was a crunching sound, but I stepped on something.

Li Chengji bent down to see that it was a dusty arrow.

I don't know how many years have passed, and the tail of the arrow has some rotten residue. Looking at the black-brown scars left on the ground, he instantly deduced that it was the wooden handle of the arrow, which was left after decay.

With caution in mind, move forward slowly. Rotten arrows also appeared scattered around him. And with the central axis of the stone gate as the center, within a radius of one foot on the left and right, there are the most arrows left. Near the corner, there are only a few of them.

This made him have some guesses in his heart. As he walked, his steps became more gentle.

He looked cautious, as if he was afraid of stepping on a mine.

He didn't stop until a humanoid skeleton suddenly appeared in sight.

He approached the skeleton with a calm face, and found it lying on its back, with seven arrows scattered around it. The temple is moved half an inch to the left, the right shoulder is the nail bone, the kneecap and other parts have obvious depressions. Around it, there are more than a dozen scattered pieces.

So he squatted down, looked at it carefully for a long time, and instantly understood the general situation.

I think there is a mechanism in this passage. Suddenly, a large number of arrows were fired. Caught off guard, the man was shot squarely.

Because the place is relatively dry, the wooden handle of the arrow is rotten, but the arrow is not rusty and corroded.

After looking at it like this for a long time, he suddenly wondered.

He reached out to the underside of the skeleton's waist and picked up a jade pendant.

I saw that it was in Persian script and engraved with a string of characters. Since he had not studied Persian for a long time, he knew only the abbreviations of the four most common characters of 'Muhammad'. The next few tadpole texts, but I can't guess it.

Afraid that Li Dali and them would wake up and worry, he didn't have time to think about it. Quickly put it in his pocket, got up and walked forward.

But after a few steps, it was as if he had stepped on some mechanism. There was a low, muffled click, and the ground shook.

I hurriedly took a few steps back and found that the floor tiles I had stepped on earlier were recessing downward.

And the night pearl above the head also squeaked and turned a little, quickly shrinking inward. A cylindrical copper tube like a cannon barrel also extended.

Without much thought, Li Chengji guessed what this thing was.

Immediately ducked into the corner of the wall, staring vigorously at the extended barrel.

But what surprised him!

Although this cannon-barrel-like thing stretched out, it didn't move for a long time.

For safety reasons, Li Chengji did not dare to act rashly.

was so deadlocked, until the sound of clicking and clicking appeared again, that Li Chengji relaxed a little.

Because the sunken floor tile has been restored to its original state. The barrel-like object that came out also retracted. The night pearl appeared, and the light of the passage was several times brighter.

However, speculation is speculation, and Li Chengji's heart is still on the embankment. He slowly approached the middle of the passage and took a few steps forward. And he was not afraid of death, so he stepped on it again. The familiar sound of the mechanism turning also sounded again.

But as before, no arrows were fired.

In this way, he also understood. It may be that it has been too long and the mechanism is damaged. Or maybe the arrows inside are used up or rotten, or some other reason. As a result, although this mechanism has been activated, it can no longer hurt people.

Thinking of this, he was even more curious about what was at the end of the passage.

After all, if it were an ordinary cellar, who would spend such energy to set up such an elaborate mechanism.

Just as he was thinking this, a scream of 'ah' suddenly came from ahead.

Listening to its voice, it looks like a little beggar's.

Li Chengji didn't dare to stay for a long time, and quickly chased forward.

Because of the speed, I accidentally touched the mechanism. A few rotting arrows also fell out.

Now, he was sure. The arrows stored in it are really rotting because they are too old.

After that, I am not afraid to step on anything, and I can run forward with confidence.

After a few breaths, a turn appears ahead. Li Chengji shook his body, and saw a rope hanging upside down in front of an open stone door.

Due to the passage of time, many ropes are only half cut off. On the ground, there are rotten bones.

The little beggar was sitting on a pile of dry bones, curled up, sobbing incessantly.

Li Chengji hurriedly stepped forward, only to see the little beggar's forehead bulging a big bag. There are also different degrees of bruising on the elbows and knees.

After a warm greeting, I realized that when the little beggar ran here, he was suddenly hung upside down by a rope.

After struggling for a long time, he fell to the ground due to the rope breaking.

Fortunately, the rope is not high from the ground, otherwise I would have injured my head and would have been seriously injured if I didn't die.

In addition, he learned that during the thunderstorm, the little beggar was frightened and wanted to run here to hide. Who knows, when passing through the atrium, suddenly a lightning bolt struck. As the ground collapsed, she was knocked unconscious by a piece of rubble.

When he woke up, he subconsciously ran to his residence.

Then he happened to be seen by Li Chengji, so he followed.

As for the hole, it was discovered when she returned. Also curious, I crawled in.

In the end, he has been in this abandoned mansion for a long time, so he is bold.

Knowing this, Li Chengji confirmed the little beggar's injury again. It was found that there was no harm to life, except for some obstacles to walking.

So he made a decision to carry the little beggar on his back. Even if his luxurious robe was soiled by the little beggar, he didn't care.

It is also the current situation of the little beggar, and it is already very difficult to move around again. And it's a girl again, although she looks dirty, but she's not very old. When Li Chengji thought of his daughter, he couldn't help but feel pity.

At this point, the little beggar was also very cooperative! In the face of Li Chengji's kindness, he silently accepted it.

But when he got up, Li Chengji found that among the bones of the little beggar, there were several daggers with rust on them. Some of them have been broken, and some of them have become powder.

Not only that, but under the dagger, there are grooves for inlay.

I think it was upside down! When a person falls, he instantly becomes a hedgehog.

Looking at the nearby bones, there are also dense grooves. A chill immediately welled up in his heart.

Because if these grooved daggers were still intact, what was lying in front of him now was a corpse.

He waited no longer, and took the little beggar on his back, and walked briskly to the open door.
