Chapter 55: One Step Behind

"Someone just said yes-" I was about to continue complaining about Li Jing, but when I looked up and saw Li Jing staring at me, I had to change my words, "According to our guess, this is a modern tomb, I don't know what you think." ”

"Me?" Venster was stunned, "How do I know ......?"

"Okay, okay, instead of wasting time here, let's go in and have a look. The entrance isβ€”" Li Jing pointed in one direction, "Look there." ”

We looked along, and the wall of the place Li Jing pointed to was empty, and there was a statement of an entrance.

I looked at Li Jing suspiciously: "Are you sure, Sister Jing, where is the entrance?"

"Heh......" Li Jing smiled contemptuously and didn't speak, and then, she walked to the wall she pointed to before and groped around the wall for a while.

With a "click", a one-man high hole appeared next to the wall.

Seeing this, Venster and I both cried out excitedly.

"Sister Jing, how do you know that there is a mechanism there?" Venster said, walked to Li Jing's side, and touched the wall, "I see, it's like this, I understand?"

"What's wrong?" I also leaned in, and was about to ask, when I saw at a glance that the mechanism on the wall was faintly reflected under the light of the flashlight.

It turned out that Li Jing saw this reflection and realized that there was a hidden mechanism here, so he found the entrance.

"Now that we've found the entrance, let's go inside." Li Jing couldn't help but push Venster and me into the entrance.

Behind the entrance to the wall, there is a place that resembles a dungeon.

As soon as I entered, I felt that something was wrong with the air here, and I took a deep breath and noticed that there was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air, although the smell of gunpowder was not very obvious, but according to my experience, it was left over from the past.

At least, a few hours ago......

"Did you find out? Wang Hao. Li Jing walked over, "Did you find anything abnormal in the air?" ”

"I found out, there was a smell of gunpowder in the air, someone had fought here a few hours ago or had blown it up with explosives......" I said lightly, my eyes searching around.

Because in general, where there is such a smell of gunpowder, there will always be something left that causes the smell of gunpowder, whether it is bullets or explosives, there will always be some traces.

However, I looked at it for a long time, but I didn't see anything on the ground, but something in the middle of the underground palace caught my attention.

It was something like a stone platform, and if it was placed in an ancient tomb, it would have been used to place sacrifices.

Thinking of this, my eyes lit up, could there have been anything on this stone platform before?

So, I hurriedly walked towards the stone platform, looked at the countertop, and sure enough, the dust on it formed a square. This shows that there was indeed a cube in the stone platform before.

What could it be...... I closed my eyes and recalled the cube objects I had seen.

Suddenly, something came to mind......

"Kyanite glass box...... There used to be a kyanite glass box here......"

I opened my eyes suddenly, and I saw that Li Jing didn't know when he walked over. She was staring at the table at this time, and she was just saying that sentence.

"Do you think so too? Isn't it alike?" I asked her.

"It's not very similar, it's just placed." Li Jing suddenly became excited, and took it out and looked for it from above

to the folder, quickly flipped.

When turning to a certain page, Li Jing's gaze began to quickly switch between the countertop and the document.

Finally, she took a deep breath: "It's the green one, the green kyanite glass box." ”

As she spoke, she pushed the document in front of me: "Is it one place, different angles?"

I took a look, and indeed, the table with the green kyanite glass box in the photo was not the stone platform in front of us.

"Where's the box, why is the box gone?" I became excited, looked up and down at the stone platform, but was slapped on the back by Li Jing, "You stupid? The box was not sure to have been taken. ”

"Oh, too, I'm stupid......" I patted my head embarrassedly.

At this moment, Venster walked over and looked at us with a serious expression: "I've looked at it once, there is no other entrance and exit to this underground palace, just the one just now." ”

"No, Venster, haven't you looked closely, there must be other entrances and exits here." Li Jing poked Venster, "There are definitely other secret rooms and secret doors here." ”

"I've wiped it all, absolutely nothing." Venster swore by it.

When Li Jing heard this, her cheeks flushed, and she said, "Could it be that I made a mistake?"

Seeing her like this, I finally understood that Li Jing's initial judgment that this was a tomb was wrong, and Li Jing is now saving her face.

I looked at Venster and gestured with his eyes, and Venster understood.

The two of me smiled in unison, and saw that Li Jing on the side was still there to save his face.

"I see, it's definitely on the other side." Li Jing clapped her hands and said, "It must be like this." ”

"Oh, Sister Jing is amazing, Sister Jing is amazing." I chimed in.

At this time, a voice came from the door: "Where did the secret door come from, the dark road, this place is so big, and we are left!" ”

"Ah Cheng?!" Li Jing shouted, "Why are you ...... Xiao Qian! You woman! ”

When I looked back, I saw Ah Cheng standing coldly at the entrance, beside him, Xiao Qian stood aside with her arms crossed.

"Brother, where did you come from?" Venster greeted him excitedly.

"Out of the hole you blew up, we're left here. The black wolf, the big bucktooth, and my employer, are all gone. Ah Cheng said, pointing to the stone platform, "If I guessed this thing correctly, I should have let go of the kyanite glass box, but what-"

Ah Cheng walked up as he spoke, knocked on the stone platform, and the base of the stone platform opened in response, and something rolled out of it.

"This is ......" I picked it up, it was supposed to be pottery, shaped like a cylinder, probably used as a container.

"It contains the biggest secret of the village above, which has just been taken away by the black wolf." Ah Cheng took the thing in my hand and fell to the ground hard.

Looking at the broken pottery shards, Ah Cheng picked up the inside and found a slightly larger pottery shard: "Look, Lu Wen, you should know what's inside." ”

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas......" Venster said slowly, "the map of the Classic of Mountains and Seas...... Real map ......"

"That's right." Xiao Qian said, "Coming here is nothing more than this purpose, but don't think about it now, two hours ago, the black wolf ran away with the map." ”

"So, Jin Da buckteeth, and that middle gourd. Are they all all the way?" Venster gritted his teeth and slammed the stone platform.

"Yes." Xiao Qian said, "You guys, you can be fooled again." ”

"Xiaoqian, how did you speak, and why did you appear here?" Li Jing pointed at Xiao Qian's nose and said.

"Cut, if I don't come, he'll die down here." Xiao Qian rolled her eyes at Li Jing, "It's not just him, you will also die here." ”

"Why?" I asked coldly, "Are you so sure that we're going to die down here?"

"Huh." Xiao Qian smiled, "Do you remember the explosion you heard before, and besides, you must also know that many of the walls here are coated with corpse oil." ”

"You mean, the explosion was because of corpse oil?" I narrowed my eyes, remembering that every explosion I had heard before had been linked to several cascades.

At the time, I was a little strange when the black wolf prepared this chain of explosives for us. Now that I think about it, I realize that those explosions were not man-made at all, but volcanic rocks smeared with corpse oil, which were ignited under some kind of chemical reaction, causing explosions.

That's why this explosion will blow up a large area......

I said my conclusion, and Xiao Qian nodded suddenly: "Yes, that's it, because the river was blown up, and the river water poured into the floor downstairs, touching a certain protective mechanism, and this base is ready to explode." ”

"How much time do we have?" Li Jing asked.

"One hour, at most an hour must leave here, otherwise ......," Ah Cheng replied.

"Damn, let's go quickly." When Venster heard this, he immediately panicked.

"If I could walk, would I still talk to you here, damn, I don't know who blocked the road above, and now there is only one way to go."

"Which way?" We asked together.

"Under this underground palace, there is a drainage system, which connects to the Yellow River outside, if we are lucky, we can get out." Xiao Qian pointed down.

"What if you're unlucky...... I asked, "is there any way to insure?"

"If we're unlucky, we'll get stuck in the drain and we'll either drown or be blown up." Xiao Qian smiled, "There is no other way." ”

"Heh, then come on, it's all death anyway." Li Jing said disapprehantly, "Come, tell me how to go down." ”

"Wait, I've got a diagram here." Xiao Qian said, took out a small tablet from the diving bag, called up a picture, and began to explain, "Look here, we are here now, and the place below us is the underground drainage system, and the top has been blocked, and only by blowing up this place can we get in......"

"So, it's my time again." Venster smiled and dropped the bag on the ground, revealing three or four bundles of explosives inside......

"Don't do it, let Ah Cheng come." Li Jing pulled him aside, "You just watch here, Ah Cheng, come on." ”

Ah Cheng nodded, picked up the explosives on the ground, silently walked to the wall, and began to measure......

In a blink of an eye, only Xiao Qian and I stood in place, I silently watched Xiao Qian finish packing up her things, and said to her, "I have some questions for you, can you answer them?" ”

"I'll talk about it when it's safe to get out......"
