Snow Ridge Lost Chapter 25 Open the door

Xue Ning didn't know how long he was in the water, and finally there was no new discovery, so he squatted and didn't make a sound, and the fat man shouted up and didn't react, and the rain had basically stopped.

The fat man squatted in the water and was very irritable, just wandering around the stone room, and I didn't bother to pay attention to him, just when I looked at the top of my head was depressed, I suddenly heard the sound of falling into the water.

I hurriedly looked over, and saw that the fat man who was still at the base of the wall just now was no longer there, and I was a little flustered, so I hurriedly called Xue Ning, who was squatting again, to go over and check.

The green water in the corner of the wall surged twice, and suddenly a thing covered in green dirt appeared from the water, which frightened Xue Ning and fell into the water.

I hurriedly stabilized Xue Ning, I could see at a glance who he was by this thing that came out of the water, and the fat man didn't know how to run here to scare people, so I scolded him: "When is this, you still have the heart to scare people." ”

The fat man wiped a handful of water from his face and took a sip. "Damn, I'm willing, there's a hole in the bottom of this stinking ditch." Xue Ning calmed down when he heard the voice of the fat man, and I secretly scolded this person in my heart, how could I blow up my hair when I met someone. But it was not easy to talk about him, so he patted Xue Ning on the shoulder.

The fat man will be covered with green mud that smells rancid. I asked him where the hole was, and he pointed to the base of the wall, and we crouched down and touched it in the water. My hand groped under the water for a while, and I was not mentally prepared to get my whole arm into the water and almost fell off half of my body, I looked at the fat man, the fat man spread his hands, and he looked more wronged than Dou E.

I looked at the fat man's height, and he had just been submerged in the water, indicating that he was at least taller than him. How could there be a hole here, my intuition and the various adventure novels I've seen before tell me that there is a secret passage here.

Thinking of this, I can't help but laugh at myself, this water seems to be leaking in, maybe when the stone chamber itself is dry, the passage here is exposed, otherwise there would not be a stone chamber where nothing is built here inexplicably, but the position and way of opening the passage is a bit strange.

I groped around in the water and touched the edge of the hole, the edge was very neatly chiseled, I felt along the edge, until I touched the other side, two or three meters away, then I realized that this was a staircase built down against the root of the wall, and I beckoned two people to come and see.

"Really." The fat man exclaimed.

What I didn't expect was that the fat man knew that it was a staircase going down, so he wanted to go down. I grabbed him and asked him what he was doing, and the fat man said, "If you wait here, you will die, and you might as well go down and see if there is another exit inside." ”

I didn't refute this, now we definitely have no way to get out, relying on people outside, there is no possibility at all, it is indeed as the fat man said, staying here is tantamount to waiting for death.

We didn't have anything to prepare, so the fat man told us to wait first, and he went down to explore the way first. If the passage in the water is too long, you have to think of something else.

The fat man tore off his clothes, covered his mouth and nose, and leaned against the wall into the water. I don't know what it's like to dive in the sewers, and I can't help but feel a little ...... when I think about it, I'll have to go down for a while

Just as he was thinking, the fat man came out of the green water. He went in for a little over a minute, and I thought about how long I had been holding my breath, sixty seconds?

The fat man climbed out of the water, panting, and waited for a while before saying, "There is hope, there is still a stone chamber on the opposite side, and the passage is probably less than six meters." ”

Then I covered my mouth and nose with my clothes, and I took a sharp breath and covered my mouth and nose. You have to follow the fat man into the water. But Xue Ning stood still. The fat man pulled him to let him go, and he said, "I don't know how to swim." "A submissive look.

The fat man had no choice but to deal with him and say; "Just a few meters, like walking." Xue Ning was pulled into the water with a sigh. But he was really afraid that he would have problems in the water, so the fat man pulled him behind him and walked forward.

I followed the stairs down the stairs to the water, and I felt a huge buoyancy just past my waist. To be honest, I can't swim, I haven't even gone down to a pool that goes up to my waist. At this time, I can't help but be a little nervous.

I took one last breath before my head sank to the bottom, my eyes closed, one hand over my mouth and nose, the other against the wall, and I went underwater.

I can't really put it into words, I couldn't see anything, the slimy green algae was all over my body. It makes me uncomfortable. What makes me even more uncomfortable is that diving underwater is completely different from holding my breath. The water pressed against my stomach and chest, and I held the breath in my mouth so that I didn't spit it out.

It was only a dozen seconds, and I felt that something was wrong with Xue Ning in front of me. The water surged, and then it kicked me in the face, and I didn't hold my breath, and I spit it out. Now I panicked, so I naturally took a breath, but a large mouthful of stinky water poured into my mouth, and I was about to vomit when I was disgusted.

I kept churning in the water, and the water got into my mouth and nose. My mind went blank and scratched around, when a hand grabbed me by the collar and pulled me forward. At this point, I grabbed the arm as if I had grasped a life-saving straw.

In a few seconds, there was a warmth in the head, and the whole person was pulled out of the water. As soon as I landed, I vomited, and there was a sour taste in my mouth. It feels indescribable.

After vomiting, he sat down on the ground, where the fat man rubbed the green algae on his body. When he saw me like this, he said, "I said Sister Lin, don't be so delicate, you can't die of a few mouthfuls of stinky water." I gave him a blank look.

Then he diverted from the topic and said; "Who's kicking me. The fat man glanced behind me, only to find that Xue Ning was lying behind me, and the whole person was paralyzed. His face was pale. panting and said, "Old Lu, I'm sorry," I saw a pile of vomit next to him, so I waved at him and didn't look at him.

People who are afraid of water sometimes only need to let him go without a roof, or even just a half-height pool, they can drown because of excessive fright. I was still alive in the water, but I was just kicked down by Xue Ning, and I choked on the water in a panic.

I pretended to be natural, stood up and picked up the flashlight on the fat man's side, and looked around. This is a stone chamber that is slightly smaller than just now, probably only ten or twenty square meters. At first glance, the stone chamber was completely different from the previous one, the walls were smooth, and there were murals painted with red and blue paint, but the bottom had peeled due to moisture.

This scene reminds me of something that often appears in fantasy novels, and a casual sentence pops up; "It's a burial chamber."

"You're big, you've read too many novels." The fat man snorted coldly. I'm a total layman, and it's not easy to reason with fat people. I had to ask, "Then what do you say this place is?" ”

The fat man got up and snatched the flashlight from my hand and responded, "I don't know, but it must not be a tomb." When he approached the mural, he took a flashlight to shine it, and I followed.

"Why not, I look similar to what I wrote in the novel." When I saw that he had finished speaking, he ignored me, so I followed and talked.

The fat man didn't look back and still looked at the mural: "Let's not say that it doesn't have coffin offerings, just say that this place, this is a Tibetan area, how could someone build such a large burial mausoleum here." After speaking, the fat man turned around and used a flashlight to Xue Ning: "Come and see, you are here to work." ”

Xue Ning didn't seem to have recovered yet, and slowly got up and walked to him. He was intrigued as soon as he saw the mural, and I looked at the wall.

Now it's about my shortcomings again, looking at the almost abstract painting style on the wall, and I look confused. It's hard to ask, or the fat man will taunt me again. I just stood by and watched, the mural was narrative, and because of that, I knew what he was talking about. If I saw something completely artistic in a museum, I really couldn't do it.

The mural is mainly red and blue, and in the first picture I saw a group of red little people around a circle, indeed a circle, there is no color here, it is just a bare stone wall. And then there is a group of people, but the painting skills should not be too good, people paint different sizes, but a few people are extremely huge, I said in my heart that this can also be a painter? Or is it an abstract style? For a moment, was there such a concept of abstraction at that time?

Xue Ning seemed to want to take out his camera to take pictures, but he felt empty. I guess it was already broken when I fell down just now. I can't understand the meaning of the mural at all, and Xue Ning may have to study it for a while. I saw that the fat man didn't have the heart to look here, so I walked around the stone room with a flashlight with the fat man.

This stone chamber is much shorter, but the air is very fresh, and there is an exit to the outside world. Behind the stone chamber is the puddle we just came out of, which should also be a staircase, but here it is up, and the water is still shaking.

There was nothing empty in the corner, and on the other side of the stone chamber there was a hole, under the dome circle. There is also a stone slab blocking the entrance of the cave, which is supposed to be a door, but this stone door is only about one and a half meters high.

When we walked to the middle of the stone chamber, we found that there was a circular groove on the ground in the center of the stone chamber, and there was some broken stone in it and nothing else, and the fat man didn't know what it was doing when he looked at it. shouted Xue Ning twice, Xue Ning didn't respond, and he was still looking at the mural little by little, already enchanted.

We didn't care about him, so we walked to the stone gate, which was composed of two left and right doors, and there was a bird that looked a bit like a phoenix on the door, and I remember that the fat man also had a gold coin on it. What is this? I was puzzled, so I wanted to ask the fat man if he wanted to compare the gold coins, but the fat man glanced at Xue Ning. I'll just give up.

There were also two recessed handles on the door, and Fat beckoned me to hold the other half. Shimen may weigh hundreds of pounds, and it is deadly. At first, we wanted to pull the fan by ourselves, but then we found that we couldn't pull it at all. The two of us had to work together to pull a door, and a click came out of the door shaft, and the stone door was slowly pulled out of a gap large enough for one person to pass through.
