Chapter Twenty-Nine: There is no way out
Due to the fact that my feet had done too much activity before, now the soles of my feet have been blocked by bruises, and the pain is not painful anymore, but it is a little swollen, and I slowly stand up with difficulty holding on to the stone wall.
Up to now, there are a total of eight of us, two have died, three have been injured, and one is unconscious, only Liu Erhe and Yan Liang are considered normal.
Looking at Uncle Gu's injured abdomen, I felt extremely uncomfortable, seeing that I had been looking at him, Uncle Gu waved his hand and said straight: It's okay, it's okay!
Although Uncle Gu said that it was okay, he was old after all, and he hadn't been to the tomb in person for several years.
This trip to follow Uncle Gu to the tomb was really a heavy loss.
When he heard that the plug was also hit by the eye, Uncle Gu said to Liu Erhe: "Wake up the one lying on the ground." ”
We turned and walked over to the bolt again, ready to wake him up.
When we got closer, we realized that the plug was actually all right, and as soon as he heard that we were leaving here, he turned around.
This kid is quite clever, and he has a lot of eyes.
I was about to complain that this product was not righteous and we couldn't protect ourselves, but I didn't forget him, but this thing woke up early and didn't move around by itself, which cost us a long time.
As a result, the plug suddenly knelt on the ground and looked at Uncle Gu with red eyes.
"Master Gu, if I don't have these eyes, I'm a waste person, and there's no point in living, thank you Master Gu for saving my life, please fulfill me, let me go with my brother!"
With that, the bolt smacked its head on the ground.
Uncle Gu looked at the face of the bolt, and then said to us: "Go!" ”
We all nodded to the plug in turn, which was kind of a final goodbye.
I walked forward, while looking back at the guy, I thought, follow Lao Jiu to the tomb, the end is very miserable, Lao Jiu really relied on these guys in his hands to explore the way for him in exchange for his life, this changed me, living in the world, this life is not steady.
I saw the bolt against the stone wall from afar, looked in our direction, and then pulled out a knife from behind me and stabbed it in my neck.
I turned my head and closed my eyes, not knowing what we were going to do next.
Going to the tomb is like a game with the ancients, if you are not careful, you will be generalized, and the end will be like a bolt, and you can't live if you want to.
Liu Erhe and I supported Lao Jiu, with Uncle Gu walking in the front and Yan Liang in the back.
"I found a secret passage above this underground tomb before, I don't know if it's still there, let's go take a look." Uncle Gu said as if looking behind him.
I don't understand very much, what does it mean to not know if it's still there, can the secret passage still run away?
So I raised the question.
Uncle Gu smiled: "You have more things to learn." This mountain is not simple, I chased the person too deep before, and when I came back from the exploration, I found that the whole mountain was connected by a chain instrument, and the terrain was complicated, if I took a wrong step, I probably would never get out again. ”
I see.
The whole mountain rotates, and there are whole connected mechanisms further down the mountain that will implicate the whole mountain and rotate, and it has been slowly moving at a speed that we can't detect, so we met a rotating wall in the dark wall of the stone wall, and I suddenly realized in my heart.
Now that Uncle Gu is back, then we won't be like headless flies like before, if it is really as Uncle Gu said, take a wrong step, it will definitely be the abyss road that will never be recovered!
After walking for a short time, Uncle Gu stopped.
He ran his hand around the stone wall, then shook his head.
"Sure enough, this road is no longer passable." Uncle Gu meant that due to the underground linkage serial instrument, the secret passage here no longer knew where to go.
Uncle Gu thought for a moment, and then looked at the Jizo Tomb behind him.
"Let's go over there and take a look, since it's a chain instrument, unfortunately, the tombs should be almost connected to each other!" With that, we turned back and walked towards the Jizo Tomb.
The scene was still in my mind, and I had palpitations, and as I walked through the corridor and glanced at the body of the bolt, I quickly turned my head away.
It's so heart-wrenching.
We stepped over the blood that had flowed from the embolus to the main pavilion.
Behind this main pavilion is a wall, just like the place of the secret passage just now, it is blocked, and even here is outrageous than that, this is a dead end at all.
"Can't we get out?" Liu Erhe asked Uncle Gu.
In fact, my inner thoughts are the same, I feel that we are stuck in a dead loop, and we can't get out, and the final end is to be trapped here alive.
Uncle Gu turned his head and looked around the Bodhisattva Tomb, and then said: "Although the size of this Tomb is not big, after all, it is in a space, and there will always be a way out, but if we wait here and don't look for it, it will definitely be a dead end!" ”
"Anzi, you go over there and find the way." Uncle Gu said and pointed to the position diagonally opposite us, which was the direction of the Jizo King Bodhisattva Temple, I said hello, and then took Liu Erhe to go.
Turning back, I was still quite stunned in my heart for this Jizo King Bodhisattva Temple, walked to the door, looked into the Jizo Bodhisattva Temple, and saw the stone statue facing the door, I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists.
Anyway, Uncle Gu is back, and I should also show my determination and bravery to Uncle Gu to see.
"Let's go, Master An." Liu Erhe stepped in as he spoke.
I followed.
The Jizo Bodhisattva Temple has returned to its usual scene, and it still looks eerie, and I remember that when I entered, the stone statue facing the door seemed to be smiling.
I looked at it again, flashed the flashlight, and realized that I had scared myself because I was too nervous.
The mouth of this stone statue seems to have been cut diagonally by a sharp knife, and when there is a little light in the room, the light shines through the corners of the stone statue's mouth, and it looks as if the corners of the mouth have moved, so we have the illusion of the previous one.
I don't have time to grind and chirp to find out why this stone statue has been cut, just like Liu Erhe said, next place, everyone else is looking for treasures, I'm drilling ideas here, too.
I remembered that Yan Liang said that in the back hall of the Jizo Bodhisattva Temple, a deep pit was found, so I thought about going to the pit to see if I could find some clues.
Liu Erhe is still looking for things in the square room where the yellow skin spirit sat before he transformed into Jizo Bodhisattva, in fact, I know him, he just wants to find some valuable treasures to bring back to gamble.
I don't need to worry about this, if Uncle Gu is there, he can't take anything away, so I put my mind at ease when I thought about it, so I went straight to the back hall of the Jizo Bodhisattva Tomb.
The back hall is very small, and now it looks a bit like an animal nest.
Hey, interesting, this is a tomb, the things in this tomb really look like that, to put it bluntly, this tomb is for the dead to sleep, how can there be everything?
Just thinking about it, then I found out that in this back hall, not to mention, there is really a deep pit, but this deep pit is not as exaggerated as Yan Liang said, and it is not to the extent that it cannot be climbed.
I jumped into the pit by the edge.
As soon as I jumped in, I felt that it was really dark here, and I couldn't see my fingers!
I turned on my flashlight and shone it around, and found that there was nothing special about this pit, and it was surrounded by walls made of stones.
It seems that there should be no way out here that we are looking for.
I shook my head, and was about to climb out of the pit, but just as my flashlight swept by, and I was about to climb up, suddenly the light seemed to sweep a white thing.
There was a white thing in it, which was particularly conspicuous with a flashlight, and I was so frightened that I quickly hit the flashlight to that position, and when I looked at it, it was a white dog!
The dog wasn't very big, but it seemed to be frightened by something, and it curled up in a corner, looking at me with fear in its eyes.
Actually, to be honest, I'm more scared than that.
If there is a dog in this, it is really a magical existence.
I didn't dare to approach it, and it didn't dare to come near me, and for a moment they confronted each other.
I saw that the dog had no ill intentions, so I squatted down, put the flashlight on the ground, and shone at it, at first it twisted its head to the side to avoid the flashlight, and finally it had no choice, so it just lay down and looked at me.
I clapped my hands at it and called it, and the dog was staring at the movements of my hands with red eyes, as if the dog in the house had been beaten by its owner.
Thinking about it made me bolder, so I slowly approached it.
I had barely taken two steps when it suddenly arched back, then bared its fangs and muffled its mouth, and before I could react, it swooped out from under my crotch.
This scurry went straight to the outside of the pit.
Maybe Uncle Gu can recognize this thing, but what if this dog is useful! Thinking of this, I hurriedly shouted: Liu Erhe, hurry up and grab this thing!
Then I climbed out.
Liu Erhe responded to me, and then I heard the sound of running outside.
No, you have to tell Uncle Gu about this situation quickly, and you can't let go of any detail!
Eventually, I climbed up, and I ran out violently.
As soon as I ran out of the Jizo Bodhisattva Temple and looked to the side, I saw Uncle Gu carrying the tail of the white dog and observing there.
It has to be Uncle Gu! That's amazing!
"Yo, what did I catch? Isn't this the mount of the Jizo Bodhisattva? It's so small, how did this Jizo Bodhisattva ride it? "It turns out that this is the mount of Jizo Bodhisattva, Uncle Gu grabbed the tail of Diting, looked left and right, and didn't see any tricks.
"Is this listening? Isn't it great to listen to legends? It's a white dog, and it looks out of phase, why is this so small? ”
"I haven't heard of this kind of beast and the male and female, I haven't read it in the book, I guess this should be the mount of the Jizo Bodhisattva, I didn't think it was such a small one, but this thing is approachable, but there is no need to be so afraid!" Uncle Gu said.
Nadi listened to Uncle Gu's tail and didn't dare to move, nor did he dare to struggle, but he was looking at us timidly.
"This little thing should be scared of the yellow-skinned spirit, but it's just right to have it, and this is worrying about the mountains and rivers and having no way out! We can let him lead the way! Uncle Gu put the earth on the ground.
I was still wondering what I would do if I heard the ground and ran out all at once, but when I heard the ground, I just curled up on the ground and didn't move.
"Although it is a divine beast, it is a white dog after all, and it will never change its nature." After that, Uncle Gu took out some dry food from his backpack, and then put it in front of Di Ting.
The land did not dare to hear it, and shrank its head into its body.
But even if it's a white dog, it's a mythical beast after all! Now that I have time, I also observed the white dog in front of me.
In terms of appearance, it is still a little different from the dogs you usually see.
I don't know how many years I have been guarding the tomb of King Jizo Bodhisattva, just looking at its white and glossy hair, there are still some differences.
We didn't bother it, so we gathered around it to watch, and in a short time the nose of the listener began to move.
The dry food was a little distance away but it seemed to smell it, and then it opened its blood-red eyes, glanced at the dry food on the ground, and then stretched out its tongue and licked it gently.
Uncle Gu squatted down at this time, cut off a small piece of the dry food with the dagger he carried, and then put it into his mouth in front of the ground.
It is said that all living beings are psychic and know how to protect themselves, and I heard my ancient uncle chewing the dry food in his mouth, as if there was nothing wrong, so he rolled the dry food into his mouth.
Uncle Gu is still right! After all, it is a dog, and after eating the dry food given by Uncle Gu, this place has reduced our defense a lot.
It's just that it only revolves around Uncle Gu.
"Master Gu! You're going to be the second Jizo Bodhisattva in no time! Liu Erhe quipped.
Uncle Gu glared at Liu Erhe and asked him not to talk nonsense.
"This place is very human, and the hearing is amazing, whether we can go out or not depends on him!" With that, Uncle Gu picked up the two front feet of the local listening, and then put his mouth close to its ear.
"Divine beast, I know that you have no quarrels, but I and a few others accidentally walked into the hinterland of the mountains, I hope you can take us out, and he will definitely build a temple for you when he turns back, burn incense and worship."
It's really strange to say, after listening to Uncle Gu's words, he turned around twice in place, and then whimpered in his mouth, although he couldn't understand what it was expressing, but looking at it, he seemed to understand what Uncle Gu meant.
Uncle Gu squinted at the ground and made a gesture of please.
"Please lead the way!" Uncle Gu said.
