I went down
An hour ago, Mengli was there.
Mengli followed the little brother into the secret passage, the tomb was inclined downward, the angle was getting steeper and steeper, and the front was pitch black, and there was no end in sight. After walking a long distance, she felt that her surroundings were warmer, and she guessed that there should be lava or hot springs around.
There was silence along the way.
After walking for a long time, the tomb road finally came to an end, and when I walked out of the tomb road, a warm wind suddenly blew. This is a corridor built on a cliff, the floor under the feet is erected on the cliff with columns, and in the middle of the corridor stands a huge black tripod, one foot of the tripod sinks into the aging stone floor, presenting a posture to be toppled.
"Be careful." The little brother reminded.
"Hmm." Meng Li replied.
The edges of the platform are all cliffs, and the top is also pitch black, and the top is not visible.
The little brother fired a flare, and the surroundings lit up instantly. In front of them was a huge mountain crack, and the corridor they were standing on was built on a crack cliff on one side, and about 200 meters on the opposite side was a cliff on the other side of the giant crack. Looking down, in the dark and bottomless rift below, countless bronze chains with the thickness of bowls traversed both sides, connecting the rift. On the chains in the depths, there seemed to be a lot of things hanging densely, but they were too far away to see clearly.
The little brother took out a climbing rope and fixed it at one end of the corridor, he jumped down along the rope at once, Mengli calmly turned on the lamp and looked down, only to see that the little brother landed on the nearest bronze chain, and tied the rope to the chain.
"Come down." The little brother pulled the rope, then raised his head and shouted.
"Okay." Mengli grabbed the rope and slid down the rope, and finally landed steadily.
"We're going to climb these chains?" Mengli asked, pointing to the chains underneath. Although these chains are quite dense and the safety should be guaranteed, this is on the cliff after all.
"Well, crawl over there." The little brother pointed to the cliff on the other side and said.
"Little brother, actually...... What do you remember? Mengli thought for a while, then bit her lip and asked. Now she is actually very entangled......
"There seems to be something I've been looking for and that's important to me." The little brother looked at the cliff opposite and replied.
"Like you said, what if you know?" Mengli asked, "Then what are you clinging to?" ”
Silent, the little brother smiled bitterly in his heart, if he could, he didn't want to be what he was now, there was no past, and he didn't know the future, the only thing he had was to pursue, and he had to pursue something that even he didn't know what it was. The little brother looked at the person in front of him and wanted to say what he thought, but ......
Mengli thought that the little brother didn't want to say so much to her, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, little brother, let's continue to go!" ”
She knew his troubles, but she wanted to hear him say it himself, and since he didn't want to say it, she respected his thoughts.
Climbed to the opposite cliff with all his might, there was also a corridor there, the little brother took out a climbing rope again, threw it hard, fixed it on the corridor, and then handed the rope to Mengli and said, "Go up." ”
They climbed up the porch, and in front of them was a dark grave road, and they didn't know where it led. "Is this the rhythm that is going down again?" Mengli illuminated the tomb road in front of her with a flashlight, and it turned and leaned down, seemingly leading to the bottom.
The corners of Mengli's mouth couldn't help twitching, this is up and down, playing tricks?!
After walking for a while, the little brother's flashlight flickered in front, Mengli followed behind, and suddenly lost the light in front of her, and the buzzing in her ears made her have to stop, she shook her head, trying to shake off the buzzing sound, but to no avail, she had to stop and slow down.
"Little brother, stop!" Mengli shouted.
No one answered, and after Mengli recovered, the little brother was gone, and Mengli couldn't help frowning.
Wu Xie's side.
Wu Xie fell in the crowd of A-Ning and them, fortunately, this stone corridor was not too high, so he stumbled and fell to the ground, and suddenly the grasshoppers around him fled in all directions like ghosts, and in an instant, all those grasshoppers retreated.
A Ning's faces were full of frightened expressions, looking at the person in front of him who could make all the grasshoppers flee in all directions, as if he had seen some monster.
Ah Ning stepped forward to help Wu Xie and asked, "How are you?" How did you end up here? ”
Wu Xie cut his palm when he fell down from the corridor, and the blood flowed, those grasshoppers should have fled only because they were afraid of Wu Xie's blood, it seemed that Wu Xie had eaten the miraculous effect of Qilin exhaustion last time.
"Oh, this world is really small, we just happened to pass by here and met you, fate is really wonderful." The fat man laughed twice on the side and said.
"Who is destined for you?" A-Ning said with a look of disgust.
"Fat man, I'm the only one who has a relationship with you." The fat man retorted, with a look of disdain.
"By the way, A-Ning, has my third uncle always been in your hands?" Wu Xie asked.
"No, we just found your third uncle in the coffin, but ......" Ah Ning didn't continue to finish, but led Wu Xie to the third uncle's side.
Wu Xie saw the third uncle lying on the ground, and what was reflected in front of him was a very haggard, sloppy face, which seemed to be much older, and his hair was gray. Seeing the third uncle, Wu Xie's heart was in a very complicated mood, on the one hand, seeing that the third uncle was safe and sound, his hanging heart was also relaxed. On the other hand, he wanted to ask the person in front of him, where had he gone, how many things had been hidden from him to deceive him, and what was the purpose of coming here?
"Third Uncle ......" Wu Xie squatted down to help him up and called him, the third uncle seemed to be delirious, squinted his eyes, heard Wu Xie call him, had a slight reaction, his chapped lips moved slightly, and called out very quietly: "Big nephew ......"
"Third Master!" Pan Zi saw the third uncle like this, went up and shook him a few times, and untied his clothes, and saw that everyone was stunned, only to see that the third uncle's clothes were full of mucus, his chest was full of rotten sores, and countless hard-headed grasshoppers were squeezed under his skin, and the third uncle wanted to get them open, but those things would not come out after they went in, and they were broken inside, and the wounds would not heal, so they all suppurated after a long time.
Seeing this shocking wound, Wu Xie took a deep breath.
"Third master, how did you make it like this?" When Pan Zi saw these wounds, he was worried, and he didn't know what the origin was, so he was so desperate for the third uncle.
A Ning hurriedly recruited a doctor, and several people hurriedly wanted to lift the third uncle up. At this moment, Wu Xie felt that the third uncle had secretly put something in his pocket, and he moved extremely fast. Wu Xie looked at the third uncle, not knowing what he put in his pocket, but he remained silent, still helped the third uncle, and pinched his shoulder with his hand, indicating that he knew that there was something in his pocket.
The doctor was treating his wounds, picking out the grassflies in his body one by one, and he was relieved until he finally dealt with them. Pan Zi has been guarding the third uncle, Wu Xie wanted to pull him to a place where no one was there to see what the third uncle gave him and had no chance, in the end he gave up, pretended to be convenient, came to a corner where no one was, took out a note from his pocket, and a snake eyebrow copper fish!
Unfolded the note and looked at it, there were a few lines written in it, and the first half of these words was not the handwriting of the third uncle, but like a stuffy oil bottle. I saw that it was written, "I went down." At this point, go back quickly, and go further down, it is no longer a place for you to deal with. Everything you want to know is in the snake eyebrow copper fish. ”
This signature surprised Wu Xie even more, it turned out to be the English mark they had been seeing before! This is really left by the little brother, what does this mean?
Looking down further, it was the third uncle's very scribbled text, which seemed to be carved out with his fingernails, and wrote a line: "We are only one step away from the truth, give the copper fish to Wu Laosi under A-Ning and let him decipher it, it doesn't matter, the most critical thing is here, they don't dare to do anything to us." ”
Wu Xie's inner thoughts at this time were very chaotic, the little brother asked them not to go down, that is, he went to a very dangerous place, but since he didn't want them to go down, why did he leave a mark? In the submarine tomb, he saw the mark and then recovered the memory of twenty years ago, which means that he knew that he would lose his memory, so he left the mark for himself? And where did Mengli go? Is she with her brother, or does she have her own purpose?
Wu Xie shook his head, these were all his guesses, don't be so cranky first, he has a hunch, he will definitely be able to see Mengli and the little brother again, and then ask them well.
