Chapter 44: Puzzle 1 (I)
Although Xia Ruobing's lie was exposed, Xia Ruobing's emotions also calmed down, she opened the notebook left by her mother and turned every page seriously.
The notebook only recorded a small half, most of which were records after coming here, and it could be seen that Xia Ruobing's mother was eager to solve the mystery of Loulan's disappearance, and she also had great hopes for the Coffin Mountain, but she did not enter the Coffin Mountain, or she never went out again, and there was nothing about the inside of the Coffin Mountain in her notes.
Closing the notebook, Xia Ruobing hugged her knees again, hope is already very slim, life will slowly pass with time, maybe she will be like her parents, disappearing silently in the coffin mountain.
"Let's stop looking." Wang Xingguo persuaded.
"It's useless, she hasn't been here, turn off the flashlight and save the battery." Xia Ruobing said faintly.
"Hey!" Wang Xingguo sighed and turned off the flashlight, "Let's rest for a while." ”
As soon as he closed his eyes, Wang Xingguo felt a slight vibration on the wall behind him, and then there was a "rumbling" sound overhead, and the closed stone door "clicked", Wang Xingguo jumped up and hurriedly turned on the flashlight, the stone door was indeed moving, and it was slowly rising.
Wang Xingguo ran over and lifted the stone door vigorously, the stone door opened very slowly, Wang Xingguo lay down, looked into the passage by the light of the flashlight, and another stone door was also slowly opening.
"Xia Ruobing! The door is open! Fast! Wang Xingguo exclaimed excitedly.
Xia Ruobing felt incredible, as if she was dreaming, was that paragraph written by Lu Wen just a joke? But then she hurriedly stuffed the notebook back into her bag and came over to help Wang Xingguo carry the door.
"You go first, don't stop!" The door was raised and there was a crack, which could drill through a person, Wang Xingguo urged Xia Ruobing to leave quickly.
……
"Tsk...... ......"Chen Badai smacked his mouth, the piece of buckle meat was crystal clear, exuding an attractive fragrance, this bite was absolutely wonderful, Chen Badai couldn't wait to take a bite, it was really fat but not greasy, Chen Badai's lips were oily, and the deliciousness of the buckle meat filled every taste bud on the tongue, it was wonderful...... Wow! There is also roast chicken, Chen Badai stuffed the buckle meat on the chopsticks into his mouth, his cheeks bulged like a chipmunk who stole food, and he couldn't wait to stretch out his dirty and unwashed hands to catch the roast chicken and break off the roast chicken legs.
"Chen Badai, wake up......" Sherpa didn't know how long he had been asleep, and when he woke up, he turned on the flashlight and shone it, Chen Badai was leaning on the edge of the cave wall, but he didn't know when he became lying on his side on the ground, his right hand was stuffed in his mouth, and his mouth was still smacking, and there was a pool of saliva under the hole.
"Hey...... I'm about to eat roast chicken......" Chen Badai opened his eyes with a mutter, it turned out that he had a dream, and the roast chicken in his hand was gone!
"What about roast chicken...... Hearing the food, Sherpa's stomach began to gurgle, he rubbed his stomach, rubbed his hunger away, and shone it to the side with a flashlight, his head was big, "What about Mr. Min?" ”
"Wasn't he there?" Chen Badai sat up, sat up, pointed to the place where Mr. Min was sleeping just now, turned his eyes to look, and suddenly stared bigger than the copper bell, "What about people?!" ”
"What about people?! What about people?! Why don't you say a word when you leave?! Chen Badai jumped up and hurriedly turned on the flashlight to shine around, but found nothing.
In fact, Mr. Min did not go far, when he was woken up by the noise, he heard a slight "click" sound in a passage, Chen Badai and Sherpa did not hear it, and after a while he fell asleep again, he got up alone and walked in the direction of the sound.
He needed to be alone for a while, and he was told that only by being alone in the dark could he really look into his heart.
Mr. Min ignored Chen Badai's exclamation, leaned against the edge of the stone wall, and looked down at the goddess of spring shining on the collar: "We met in an autumn, we stayed together in the long winter, we followed the footsteps of Loulan, we fell in love in the spring, and we separated in the summer...... No, I will grant your wish, whether you live or die now...... The princess of Loulan...... You are my faith, you are my eternal love......"
Mr. Min whispered silently in his heart, and he heard the "click" sound getting louder and louder, and a deep passage appeared on the side of a passage he had just passed.
Mr. Min stands still here, is this the direction that the princess of Loulan has given herself?
"It's dead...... Dead...... It's a dead deal, and he still has a lot of equipment on him! Chen Badai's exclamation came from the passage, and he thought that Mr. Min had run away alone.
Sherpa heard Chen Badai say this, and quickly opened the bag to take a look, fortunately, Mr. Min did not steal his equipment, Chen Badai said hatefully: "I didn't expect him to be such a person......"
When Mr. Min heard Chen Badai's evaluation, he smiled bitterly, took a deep breath, turned his head and walked back to the stone room.
He could see the flashlight in the hall from the passageway, so he didn't turn on the flashlight, followed the light guidance, returned to the edge of the hall, and asked, "What kind of person?" ”
"Mr. Min, you're scared to death!" Seeing that Mr. Min was still standing there well, Chen Badai's half-cold heart began to warm, and he quickly explained, "No...... We are worried that you will be in danger if you are alone. ”
"I found a way, maybe a way out." Mr. Min said, "Do you want to come?" ”
"Mr. Min, don't act alone next time, in case you ......," Sherpa reminded, this time it was just a false alarm, but next time I don't know what will happen.
"Chen Badai, are you afraid that your banknotes will run away?" Mr. Min asked Chen Badai.
"Hey, it's okay, it's okay, as long as Mr. Min is fine, it's easy to say anything, haha, haha......" Chen Badai snorted haha, for him, Mr. Min is a large amount of money, and it is the hope of future life, but this banknote is long-legged, and he ran away and came back just now, Chen Badai has a feeling that the banknote has been lost and recovered.
The banknotes are back, but they are still far from putting them in his pocket, and Chen Badai now has to find a way to bring back such a large amount of money from the ground completely from Mr. Min, otherwise he will have to die with the banknotes.
"Are you sure this is the way out?" Standing at the entrance of the deep cave, Chen Badai turned on the caving flashlight, this passage was long and dark, and the caving flashlight could not shine on the head, and he vaguely saw a turn in the distance.
"I don't know, it just opened anyway." Mr. Min shrugged his shoulders, since the other roads have been traveled, it doesn't hurt to take this new road.
"It's strange, we walked here just now, and we didn't see a hole." Sherpa looked the new passage up and down, but couldn't see anything.
"The people of Loulan are also masters of architecture, they integrate the architectural specialties of the West and the East, and they can use stone to process delicate mechanisms, maybe the sound just now is the sound of the mechanism." Mr. Min said.
Sherpas have also done archaeology, and in order to prevent the theft of tombs, the ancients invented many elaborate mechanisms, some of which are incredibly sophisticated.
"Organs? Is it opened by a human or automated? Chen Badai was a little unconvinced.
"If there is a mechanism, then there will definitely be a way out, do you want to follow?" Mr. Min felt that there was no result in the discussion here, so it was better to move forward.
Chen Badai was still a little hesitant to go in, this passage felt dangerous no matter how the road ahead, but Sherpa and Mr. Min had already walked in.
"Hey! What if this mechanism is sealed? Hey, consider a way out wow! Chen Badai shouted at their backs.
"Let's keep up!" Sherpa replied, I don't know if Sherpa was a little loud, Chen Badai heard the low "buzzing" sound in the cave again, this is not a good sign, his head shrank, three steps and two steps hurriedly chased after him - even if he died, he would die a piece!
After running a few steps, Chen Badai was attracted by a small stone figure on the side of the wall, which was about knee-high, and the small stone figure was holding a candlestick-like thing in his hand, which Mr. Min and Sherpa didn't even see when they passed by just now.
"Hey, there's a little stone man here!" Chen Badai shouted, tentatively stabbed with his foot, the figure shook for a moment, and with a little more strength, the figure tilted to the side, "He will still move......"
"Don't touch things......" As soon as the Sherpa finished speaking, he heard a loud "rumbling" sound on the passage, as if something had rolled over, Chen Badai was stunned, and the stone door behind him slammed down, blocking the passage.
"I'll you!" Chen Badai's heart was pounding, and he quickly helped the figure back, but the stone door did not move at all.
