Chapter 47: Vegetable Cellar?

"We're fairly well equipped." Liu Guang snapped his fingers, let's take out all the equipment and count it.

When the equipment was placed on the ground, I looked at it and saw that it was completely complete and not touching what Liu Guang said, the equipment was in tatters, some of it couldn't tell what it was at all, and there were a few backpacks with packed food that I didn't know where they landed.

The few pieces of equipment that worked for us were: a couple of flashlights, an altimeter, a kettle (but no water). ), pistols, ropes, fuel, a timer, some work tools, and of course, the explosives that Boss Bi relied on the most. There is also a traveling medicine box with various medical supplies in the "Medic".

"With all this equipment, there is no reason why we should not go further afield," Liu Guang told me, "and besides, this place is very treacherous, and it is a direct road. ”

I didn't understand, Liu Guang explained: "There is only one passage, entrance and exit. If you want to go straight back to the surface from here, you'll need a lot of explosives. Otherwise, you will have to follow the route given by the builder. ”

"Have you ever heard of a foreign poet named Virgil?"

"What?"

"It's tailor-made for those of us who have an unfortunate fate: no matter which path fate wants us to take, we will go on it."

We quickly passed through the stone gate, using the most violent method: explosives. But the road below froze us all, and the smooth stone brick walls were gone, and there were potholes everywhere, as if they had been built temporarily.

"What should we do?" Boss Bi didn't have any opinions at all, and then asked, "This ancient person is lazy again, will it be that the bottom hasn't been dug yet, and it will be a dead end when we go in." ”

I shook my head, and I was very puzzled, is it really like what Boss Bi said, these ancients are too lazy, and the exit has not been built yet?

Boss Bi saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he grabbed me and said, "Brother Du, don't stop talking, come and guess, what do you think is going on below?" If you don't say one, two, three, four, I don't know the bottom of my heart. ”

My heart says I'm not much better than you, and my heart is cold. The human mind is terrible, and if we knew that there was an exit near here, even if it wasn't behind this door, we would dare to pat our chests and say, 'Hold me!' Lao Tzu can still go in and break in. But we didn't find an exit at all, and even the most likely exit became slim, and in this case scare people to death.

I carefully observed the entrance of the cave, took the flashlight from Wang Ziyue's hand, and looked inside. Wang Ziyue said: "Big brother, don't worry, let's think about why this place is different from the outside." ”

I held my cheeks and thought hard, everything has to be in a good place, Boss Bi's purpose in asking me to speculate is to cheer myself up, and to speculate in a bad place is contrary to the original intention. If we guess that there's a monster down there and we're going to get eaten if we step a little further inside, then there's no point in surmising.

As soon as I wanted to open my mouth, Boss Bi interrupted me: "Hey, if it's a bad speculation, don't say it, if you speculate that we will definitely die, it's better to let Brother Bi and me leave a thought." ”

I cleared my throat to reassure him, even if I push blindly, I can't give Lord Yama a boost and destroy our prestige. "Wang Ziyue is right just now, we have to empathize, have you ever thought about any place in real life that is similar to the place we are taking now?"

Everyone was thinking, and Boss Bi suddenly had an answer: "Prison? It is also a place where death row prisoners are held. You mean we escaped from prison with explosives? ”

Wang Ziyue said: "Don't guess, big brother, tell us quickly." ”

I said, "Now that the times are progressing, we may not be able to see these places anymore, but when I go back to my hometown, I can see these places, except that the door is on the floor and the door here is erected here." ”

Boss Bi suddenly understood: "You mean the vegetable cellar?" What you mean is that not only will we not die in the underground, but there will be a lot of gold and silver treasures. Suddenly, his spirit was different, he straightened his waist and said, "Then comrades, let's hurry down and make a fortune, the exit can be found later, and the baby can't be found when he goes out." ”

Liu Guang gestured to tell us not to make noise, and said lightly: "This is not a vegetable cellar, but an escape channel." ”

I saw that the passage was slightly sloping downward, how could it be an escape route? I couldn't help but draw his attention to the problem.

"Are you surprised by the downward slope?" He asked.

"That's for sure, or ......"

"You come here," said Liu Guang, pulling me to the entrance of the cave, "There is a living wind here." ”

I felt it, and there really is! Then this one really has a point. In order to protect the secrets in the mausoleum, most people are afraid that they will become the burial companions in the tomb after repairing. But the magic is one foot high and one foot high, and some craftsmen are very clever and dig a survival channel for themselves in advance, so that they can follow it out and pick a life when the tomb is closed.

This passage is potholed, much like a survival tunnel. Although it is not a tomb, the spectacle and its "special purpose" alone will surely kill people.

We descended the passageway, a veritable natural slope that was gentle like the eaves of some old-fashioned house. After about a quarter of an hour, a three-way intersection appeared ahead.

"! This craftsman is not real," Boss Bi shouted, "There is still a branch in the entire survival passage." ”

Liu Guang was also stunned, but didn't seem to want to show any hesitation in front of us, he pointed to one of them and said, "Go on." ”

I wanted to stop him because it was too irresponsible, but Wang Ziyue grabbed me and shook her head at me.

"What?"

"Don't mess with him now, big brother. Didn't you notice? You can only be wronged by yourself by doing this, and besides, we are grasshoppers tied to a rope, and it is useless for you to hate him. ”

Without waiting for me to say anything, Wang Ziyue said again: "There is no difference between these holes, no matter which one you choose, it will be the same." ”

Boss Bi was also helping beside him, and he also pulled me inside: "You must firmly believe that this is an escape channel, the escape channel is an emergency channel, and it is done behind the backs of the overseer, and it is impossible to live and die." If you don't think so, then we're dead, and it doesn't matter which way we go. ”

No amount of hesitation will lead to any result in the face of these two paths, because there is no sign that will prompt you to make the right choice. I was relieved to think about it, everything was luck.

Maybe luck is really on our side, and I can't help but secretly admire Liu Guang's luck. I don't know what time it is outside, I've been in the cave for four or five days, and the concept of human time has long been gone.

The appearance of the side wall of the passage has changed, the light reflected by the torches has become darker and darker, and the unevenness of the stone wall has been replaced by smooth stone. But there are still no decorations, not even the stone slabs on the walls, which seems to be air-conditioned here.

From time to time, some weathered corpses appeared at the bottom of the passage, and Boss Bi confirmed that these must have been left by the craftsmen who excavated the escape passage. He also said: These people sacrificed their lives for the survival of the entire artisan community, in order to resist the tyrannical rule, and now they have shown us a way to live, and they have contributed greatly. Of course, he also found irrefutable evidence, and there were rusty iron tools next to the corpses.

Liu Guang and his men did not participate in our conversation with their usual indifference, and from time to time they looked at us sarcastically, and if they did not want to conserve physical strength or body hydration, they would have to taunt us a few words. And Boss Bi was encouraged by the escape passage to stay in a strong state, Wang Ziyue followed me all the way, and rarely spoke, I don't know what I was thinking. I'm always worried, I'm always thinking.

In a tunnel deep in the mountains, a group of thirteen people had their own ideas, and walked forward silently, only the crunching sound of bones under their feet could be heard on the way, and the sound of Boss Bi humming a small song.

My mind was already dull, and I guess I had walked through the untouched corridors for hours, if not longer. The muscles have formed a memory, and they can only move forward so mechanically. As a result, I bumped into Boss Bi in front of me at once, and Wang Ziyue in the back also hit me headfirst.

"How?" Boss Bi's voice was very sharp, and it seemed that he was not as brave as he looked, "Is there no way?" ”

My heart sank, this was the worst situation, and my body couldn't help but tremble, probably because this was the last day for him!

Then there were a few exclamations from the front, but they were not desperate cries, they were jealous excitement. The three of us looked at each other and rushed to the front.

"Wow!"

"I'll go!"

"My goodness!"

The figurine cave disappeared, and the space suddenly became larger, turning into a small square hall, and the stone platforms around it were full of all kinds of dazzling treasures. All kinds of gold products, porcelain with brightly colored surfaces, ancient musical instruments.

Boss Bi rushed forward with one arrow step, and he couldn't stop him, so I scolded angrily. But seeing him picking around for a long time was nothing, so I put my mind at ease. I found a dagger, which looked like it was made of silver, and I put it in my pocket, maybe I could use it.

These treasures don't appeal to me very much, the only thing that is very unusual is that there is a coffin here.
