Chapter 47: Faceless
The tomb road is more than 30 meters long, it is a slope shape from low to high, and the blue bricks in it are neat and tidy.
Chen Xiaodonkey walked behind Jia Northwest with half a cat's waist, with a flashlight on in front and back, and when he came out of the tomb, he entered a place with a roof arched circle, similar to the transfer hall of the huge ancient buildings on the ground, not counting the side where they came out, this transfer hall also has three tombs leading to different directions.
What's going on?
Chen Xiaodonkey turned on the flashlight and swept it in the direction of the three tombs, he really hadn't heard of this situation. It stands to reason that along a tomb road, after passing through several burial chambers, you should enter the main tomb all the way, and it is very strange that there are several tomb passages.
Jia Xibei walked over, looked at each tomb for a while, turned around and said directly: "This tomb looks bigger than I imagined before, so let's get here for the time being, and take a few hours to rest." ”
Dazhu and Erniutou, who were the most tired along the way, heard this, and put the bag in place without saying a word, and breathed a sigh of relief with a tired face.
There are a lot of oil lamps on the tomb wall of the transfer hall here, Pei Luo tried it, the lamps can still be lit, and soon there will be fire in the transfer hall.
They sat down against one wall, and ate some dry cakes with clear water to replenish their strength, Jia Xibei took this opportunity to arrange a vigil, and Fang Gu directly took over the work, saying that she could keep it alone, which made Dazhu and Erniutou, who were ready to continue to work hard, extremely grateful.
Jia Xibei was not hypocritical, and after confirming with Fang Gu that there was no problem, he directly found a comfortable position and quickly began to snore.
Several people quickly fell asleep, Chen Xiaodonkey watched Fang Gu leaning on the other side and closing her eyes and pretending to sleep, obviously very tired but couldn't sleep, and the many doubts that had accumulated in her heart appeared in turn.
Part of it was the confusion of Fang Guqi's strange advice, and the other part was the arrangement that he found incredible after entering this tomb.
As his uncle Jia Xibei said, this should be the tomb of a certain big man in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom a few decades ago, he doesn't know much about that period of history, only knows that after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom set the capital of Nanjing, Shanghai was indeed within its control, but who is specifically controlling this side, it is not very clear.
However, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was vigorous back then, but after the capital was set in Nanjing, the real existence time was not many years, and it was destroyed by Zeng Guofan's troops, so this tomb, which now looks huge and seems to be a bit excessive, has become a mystery when it was built.
Even if, as his brother-in-law said, the place more than forty meters below the ground is a huge cavity formed naturally, then looking at the place where he walks now, it is definitely not a place that can be repaired in a short time.
The hall above, the large waterhole dug by hand after coming down, the large secret room called the corpse pit, and the neatly repaired tomb passage and tomb chamber, as well as the mechanism tomb door behind the tomb wall, these things are not easy to repair even if they are placed on the ground, let alone underground.
And in addition, there is also the rope that seems to have been from the father when he came down from above.
Jia Xibei reminded himself twice, once from the knot, and once from the waterhole to the tomb crossing, it seemed that they were following the route taken by their father, but in fact?
Chen Xiaodonkey was always skeptical.
There is also Fang Gu who said that some of the four people wanted to kill him, and Fang Dasheng said that he walked with an evil spirit, and the shadow he saw last night who wanted to kill him.
I don't know when it began, but in the four passages, the sound of breathing became even.
Chen Xiaodonkey had a dream again, in the dream he heard that someone seemed to be calling him, he was in a hurry, he kept running along the sound, and suddenly fell into a coffin, he hurriedly climbed out, and when he turned around, he saw that there was a person lying in the coffin, who was wearing a black shroud, but a strange snake head poked out of the back of his neck.
What a deflated calf!
Chen Xiaodonkey woke up suddenly, found that it was just a dream, and sighed with palpitations. It's just that just as he twisted his neck and was about to sleep for a while, his body stiffened.
What about his uncle's, people?
Just like last night, all the people around me are gone!
The oil lamp on the wall of the tomb was still on, and he was the only one who slept in the empty hall.
After being stunned for two seconds, Chen Xiaodonkey pinched his body, making sure that he was not still dreaming, and cold sweat slowly oozed from his back.
The two bags containing tools and supplies are also missing!
"Uncle!"
"Aunt Fang?"
Chen Xiaodonkey stood up, and his voice echoed in the hall for a while and then dispersed immediately, without getting any response.
The entrances to the four tombs were placed there in darkness, and he was shocked to think that this was a large tomb more than forty meters underground. I took off the cotton balls that plugged my ears, and stood there and screamed a few more times, but I still didn't hear any movement.
So you have been left behind? Chen Xiaodonkey had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and after a long silence, he made the worst and most terrifying guess.
Panic is a bit of a problem, but panic doesn't solve anything at this time.
He scolded the calf, calmed himself down as much as he could, and began to determine his current situation first.
The first is to check the equipment, but now there are only three things on the body, a dagger, a feng shui compass, and a flashlight that I don't know how much power I still have. As for water and food, there is none.
The second is time, how long has it been since he fell asleep to now, he doesn't have a pocket watch, the details are not very clear, but according to the current level of sleepiness and satiety, the time he was left behind should not be too long.
And the third is the choice, what should I do next? Jia Xibei, when they leave from the transfer hall, they must have to take one of these four tomb paths, or the three tomb roads that don't know where they lead, so which one will they choose, and do they want to find a way to find them?
There is also the option to return the same way, Chen Xiaodonkey directly eliminated it after a little thought, not to mention walking back, will it bump into the female corpse evil that followed them all the way, the corpse pit will not be able to pass, the boat is not fixed when entering the cemetery, and it may float somewhere at this time, and jump directly into the pool, purely to open the meat for those ghost poison clams!
So after thinking about it, there was actually only one choice left for him, he had to find Jia Xibei and them first, otherwise it would be impossible to get out of this place without any equipment and supplies.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the oil lamp on the wall of the tomb in the hall seems to be a little darker.
Chen Xiaodonkey walked to the three tomb entrances and turned on the flashlight to carefully check the ground, but soon his face turned gloomy.
He himself wanted to see the footprints, but all of the three tomb crossings were left with footprints! Obviously, this hand is simply to prevent him from coming!
"I'll grass your uncle!" Chen Xiaodonkey scolded.
But as soon as the voice fell, he suddenly turned around and looked at the tomb road that came over in disbelief.
"Aunt Fang, are you over there?"
Quickly looked at the footprints at the three tomb entrances again, but didn't find Aunt Fang, which made Chen Xiaodonkey can't help but sound last night's incident again, his expression perked up, and he hurriedly walked over to the side and asked aloud.
But no one answered on the other side of the grave.
Chen Xiaodonkey struggled for two seconds, gritted his teeth, pulled out his dagger and quickly went down the slope of the tomb.
When he walked from the tomb to the hall, he didn't feel anything, but now that he walked back, Chen Xiaodonkey found that the angle of this ramp tomb road was a little steep, and the light of the flashlight shone down, and he could only see a small piece of ground and a pair of embroidered shoes on the ground.
It's really Aunt Fang!
The moment he saw the embroidered shoes, he breathed a sigh of relief, and no matter how fast he walked under his feet, he immediately arrived behind the still open tomb door.
The fire in the brazier at the four corners of the tomb has not been extinguished, although there is a little murderous coffin containing the corpses of three children, but with Aunt Fang in front, even in this kind of place, Chen Xiaodonkey feels a lot more relieved.
It's better to follow someone with great skills!
Chen Xiaodonkey thought in his heart, looked at Aunt Fang who was standing in the tomb with her back to her as if she was observing something, stretched out her hand and patted her shoulder, and said half-easily: "Aunt Fang, what are you looking at?" ”
"Look at you."
Fang Gu turned around, but she had no face.
