Chapter 56: The Dark Corridor
When Zhang Liu appeared in this royal tomb, I believed that I would definitely meet other people one after another, but I never expected that there would be one in this coffin.
It seems that this Fang Zheng didn't come here after me and Zhang Lao were blind, but he had already made a coffin in advance, waiting for someone to come to the door.
After a brief moment of surprise, I quickly pulled my thoughts back to reality.
There was nothing extra in the coffin except for Assistant Zhao lying upright.
"She, she's not going to die, is she?" Zhang Liu said tremblingly, his body leaning back unconsciously, as if he was in a posture of escaping at any time.
Of course, this can't be blamed on him, there have been a lot of strange things along the way, as an ordinary person, it is not easy to hold back his strength and not collapse.
Assistant Zhao's face was pale, and his chest did not rise and fall at all, I held my breath and stretched out my finger to probe her snort, and found that there was still a slight breath, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't panic, people are still angry, hurry up and come over to help. ”
The two of them carried Assistant Zhao out of the coffin and put it on the floor next to him.
After a cursory examination, I found that there were no obvious signs of injury on her body, indicating that the person was probably also on the road.
"Mixed Yuan Yiqi, quickly return to the original, the bones are refreshing, and the body is always alive, E!" I chanted a mantra in my mouth, and at the same time turned out a Yin Sword Finger with my left hand, and then pointed at Assistant Zhao's Yintang acupoint.
With a "wow", Assistant Zhao turned his head and vomited at me. I was almost scared to death, cursing and swearing backwards at the same time, glad I was flashing fast.
"Where is this?" Assistant Zhao's eyes were confused, and he swept around.
"How do you feel about that long story?" I really didn't bother to explain again, and it was useless to tell them.
"Where's Fangzheng?" Assistant Zhao staggered up from the ground and asked in a heavy tone.
After some exchanges, I learned the ins and outs of Assistant Zhao's side.
The time has to go back to the night of the camp. That night, as the only female team member who did not have to keep vigil, Assistant Zhao was woken up when he was in a daze.
This person is none other than Master Fangzheng. According to Assistant Zhao, Master Fang Zheng was panicked at that time, and after waking her up, he said that something was wrong, and the people in the camp were gone, so she followed Fang Zheng and began to search.
However, this Assistant Zhao has never been a fuel-efficient lamp, and she may not have reacted at first, but after a while, the two of them walked and walked, and she didn't feel quite right. Because Fang Zheng didn't feel like she was looking for someone or avoiding her, but had been consciously leading her away.
If this person is suspicious, then everything is wrong. After several temptations, Assistant Zhao completely provoked Fangzheng. I guess Fang Zheng originally wanted to save some effort and fooled Assistant Zhao into playing tricks himself, but after being seen through, he simply came to do nothing.
So needless to say, Assistant Zhao's small body, after Fang Zheng's spell casting, completely lost the ability to fight back. In a daze, she only felt like she was being carried on her back for a distance, and then she fell into a dream, at least now that she understood that it was.
This dream is an infinite loop of stairs, similar to the Penrose Stairs I came across.
Assistant Zhao was trapped inside until I woke up just now.
After listening to what happened to Assistant Zhao, I understood that the key to the royal tomb should be the people in these two coffins. The configuration of one man and one woman can also be explained by the most basic yin and yang. As for why the man chose me instead of Zhang Laoblind, it is still unknown.
It is estimated that as a sacrifice key, Assistant Zhao and I are relatively weak at this time, but at this kind of pass, as long as we can walk, we can't rest.
So after a little trimming, the three of them decided to continue going deeper.
The new corridor was still pitch black, and the bald donkey didn't light the candlesticks along the road as I did, and the flashlight on my body was taken back by Fang Zheng.
I had both of them pull some of their clothes as a medium for ignition, and the three of them tossed back and forth to light the candlesticks in the hallway, and little by little they explored the depths.
It's a pity that this method really can't be used for too long. The clothes burned too fast, and the length of the corridor was not short, so it was obviously too physically exhausting to go back and forth, and if you continued like this, it was estimated that you wouldn't be able to go far, and the three of them would have to go bare-ass.
"Next, we probably have to move forward in the dark, Fang Zheng should have already walked this road, so as long as we are careful, we shouldn't run into any mechanisms. I commanded the two of them with a serious face.
Zhang Liu didn't have any expression, only the candlelight hit him in the face one by one. Assistant Zhao gritted his teeth, as if the other party's hatred had not subsided. This girl's revenge is really strong enough, and I don't know which kid who doesn't open his eyes will fall into the blood mold of these eight lifetimes in the future, I thought to myself.
The three of them spread out a 1-shaped column again, with their shoulders on the front and back. I was naturally the first to bear the brunt of the shots, with Assistant Zhao following behind me and Zhang Liu in charge of the palace.
The corridor in front of me seemed to be the throat of a monster, and a feeling of suffocation hit me from the bottom of my heart.
From the main hall of the coffin, we had walked about a hundred meters, but I felt in my heart that there was still a long way to go.
I don't know if it's because of the oppression of the environment, or for other reasons, Assistant Zhao and Zhang Liu behind me haven't spoken, only the sound of heavy breathing keeps coming.
"Oh!" I suddenly exclaimed.
I don't know why a pit suddenly appeared in the originally smooth corridor, and I followed the ordinary pace, only to feel that my feet were empty, and I stumbled, and the muscles of my whole body instantly tensed.
Between the lightning and flint, I still maintained my balance, and immediately turned my head and shouted: "Assistant Zhao, Zhang Liu!"
"What's going on?" asked both of them at the same time, and at the same time I felt a strong wind blowing, and Assistant Zhao's hand slapped on my face.
"Don't hit me!" I knew she had suddenly missed my shoulder, and she would be anxious to find my place, but it was not light or heavy, and my already tense body was numb again.
After adjusting my posture a bit, I said, "This is like a step down, you pay attention to your step." ”
The three of them immediately regained their formation and began to walk downward.
On the smooth road before, although you can't see it, the speed of travel is moderate. This will lead to a dark ride up the stairs, and the speed will be reduced considerably.
In this environment, there is an insurmountable fear. Each foot must be slowly poked out until it is firmly stepped on, and then dare to continue to move.
I pulled the wall next to me with my right hand and kept my balance with my left hand.
I didn't take a few steps before I felt something wasn't quite right.
"Is this a spiral staircase?" I said, looking like a question, but more often to express my surprise.
If my mind hadn't failed, the shape of the staircase would have been spiraling down. Although the angle of this staircase is very obvious compared to the previous Penrose staircase, which is not easy to give people any illusion, but the previous experience made me nervous.
The two people behind him immediately responded.
To be on the safe side, I decided to pause and pinch the mantra before looking.
