The Lost Soul of Southern Sichuan Chapter 35 Grimace Stone Gate
I stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the three words "General's Mausoleum" that walked the dragon and snake and was stunned, this is the third time I have come here, on the same day, what an irony.
Suddenly, Zhang Genhuo pulled me and said, "Brother, you said that we should light a torch and throw it into the hole, can we force those bats out, so that we will save a lot of trouble." ”
I thought about it for a moment, shook my head and said, "You see it's not very late yet, if you throw a torch in and wake them up, but they don't come out, then won't we be able to get in?" ”
Zhang Genhuo lowered his head in disappointment, and I said, "Let's go, success or failure is here!" ”
We still made our way through the slippery and foul-smelling passageway to the last bronze statue.
Tony expertly handled the dirt and rust from the figure's abdomen with a short knife, then looked back at us.
I know he's still a little hesitant to fail this time......
I knocked myself on the head twice, shook off all the bad feelings, and gave Tony a determined look, and Tony nodded at me.
I turned my head to look, only to see that San'er didn't know when he actually stood in a military posture.
I laughed and scolded, "What are you doing here? ”
San'er said seriously: "I think I should do this on occasions where I feel such a heavy sense of ceremony." ”
I suddenly remembered that when I first met him, the image of that tendon had not changed at all from now.
With a "click-click" sound, I knew that Tony had triggered the trap.
When I looked back again, sure enough, the word on the abdomen of the bronze figure had become "Dui".
"It doesn't seem to be anything...... it, the light at the mouth of the hole is gone......"
With the old horse's exclamation, we looked towards the exit of the cave, and sure enough, it was no longer a white light, but a black patch.
"It's done!"
"Awesome!"
……
The crowd erupted in cheers.
Although the future is uncertain, and it is not known where that dark place will lead, the current situation must be much different from before.
Just as we were cheering, a familiar voice came from behind us.
"forget about these, run!"
Looking at the army of bats close at hand, we basically had no power to fight back, and could only run forward desperately.
We kept going on, and finally ran to the dark place, and we realized that it was another cave, but there seemed to be some fault with the cave we were in now, which was very obvious.
We rushed in without thinking, and the bats seemed to be afraid of something, all wandering and screaming outside the fault, but never daring to move forward.
After a vigorous run, we all leaned against the cave wall and gasped for air.
The walls here are much drier than the outside, and when I looked around, the walls of the cave were actually very smooth, and it seemed that someone had carefully decorated them.
Little by little, I shone my flashlight forward.
Suddenly! A large, venignant grimace came into view, with a green face and fangs, and a ferocious gaze.
I was so frightened that I shouted "it", and everyone followed my line of sight.
For a while, the sound of "slumping" in the channel came and went, and I have to admit that this group of people is really vulgar, and when they encounter places that need to express their inner emotions, they use these two words the most.
"Who the is making such a grimace at this moment, trying to scare Lao Tzu to death?"
The old horse complained rudely about the lifelike carving in front of him.
I looked at it again, and found that the grimace was actually carved into the two doors, half on the left and half on the left and half on the left, and if it wasn't for careful observation, it really seemed to be one and the same.
I stood up and said, "Go over and see, it's a door." ”
It's just that my passage is really not wide enough, I can only stand about four people side by side, and Tony and I are at the front, after all, such a strange door, in case there is any mechanism, I think only Tony can handle it.
Tony walked up to the strange door, feeling the lines on it repeatedly with his hand, and after about ten minutes, he finally finished checking the door, and said slowly, "There is no mechanism. ”
Just when everyone was relieved, Captain Yu said, "Look, there are words on this wall. ”
When I looked back, there were two lines of small letters carved into the wall next to the door.
"Whoever enters this gate shall suffer from the gnawing of ten thousand demons."
These inconspicuous two lines of small characters can be described as extremely rough engraved, but after reading this small sentence, it makes people unconsciously shiver.
Everyone didn't speak, and from the time they entered the Ecstasy to the present, strange things happened one after another, so that such a small sentence can make people panic.
Dong Lao, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly said: "Hehehe, this is afraid?" We have only found the main one, this must be a big tomb, but every big tomb will have some strange words or patterns to warn people who have different thoughts, this is normal, alarmist. ”
These words, like a reassuring pill, will support everyone's spirit again, I almost forgot, Tony said that Dong Lao may be an expert in tomb robbing, he didn't talk much along the way, I almost forgot about him, and now in the field he is best at, Dong Lao finally stood up.
Seeing that everyone seemed to believe what he said, Dong Lao nodded with a smile and said, "Since there is no mechanism in this door, Da Biao, Da Hu, go and try how heavy." ”
"Yes."
Da Biao and Da Hu answered in unison, and then walked quickly in front of us, and the two of them pushed the two doors inside twice with their hands, and then Da Hu said, "You can push, but there are two more people." ”
There is no doubt that Zhang Genhuo and Dabiao have the greatest strength in our group.
At this time, as soon as he heard that he had to work hard, Zhang Genhuo grabbed the old horse and stepped forward and shouted, "I'm coming!" ”
Lao Ma was a little reluctant, and muttered in a low voice: "If you come, you can come, why do you pull Lao Tzu?" ”
The two of them opened the door, shouted a slogan and exerted force together, and the seemingly heavy grimace stone door creaked and slowly pushed open.
As soon as the door opened, I shone my flashlight inside, and when I couldn't see anything clearly, I simply walked in to take a look.
Who knew that Dong Laoyi stopped me at this time, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, don't be anxious, the air in this place has not been circulated with the outside world for many years, and you are afraid that it will be dangerous if you enter it so rashly." ”
I nodded modestly, thinking that what Dong Lao said was very reasonable, so I asked again, "Then when will we go in." ”
Dong Lao said with a smile again: "Don't worry, wait a minute, we can rest here, and when we wake up, it should be fine." ”
I looked around at the crowd, and there was some tiredness in my eyes, after all, I had been in the Ecstasy for so long, and I had slept for three hours, and even if I was beaten with iron, I was about to be unable to survive.
So I said, "Then let's go back a little bit, get some rest in this hole, and then move on." ”
After hearing what I had said, everyone eagerly retreated, and then found the place where they felt most comfortable and lay down, ignoring the cold in the cave.
Looking at their commitment, I suddenly felt a little sad.
At this time, I suddenly found that Dong Lao was looking at me with satisfaction, and I asked with some doubts: "Dong Lao, what do you think I am doing?" ”
Dong Lao laughed twice and said, "The shopkeeper." ”
He said these three words, and then he found a wall and leaned against his eyes to recuperate.
Shopkeeper's ......
I couldn't figure it out for a while, and I said in my heart that these old fritters just like to be so vague when they talk, isn't it good to be straightforward?
But in light of what I just did, I seem to understand something.
From the time we first met, the people inside Sambaozhai didn't like me, let alone convince me, not to mention the people on the captain's side, who regarded me as a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the eye, and completely regarded me as a stunned young man who did not experience the world.
But after so many things in a row in the past few days, when I say some more words, they have actually begun to implement them step by step, which is tantamount to acquiescing to my leadership.
I smiled wryly and shook my head, I don't want to be a leader, I just want to take everyone out of here, the sooner the better.
Thinking about it, I also lay on my side on the ground and fell asleep.
By the time I woke up again, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and I had slept for nearly eight hours.
I stretched in satisfaction and looked around to see that everyone was still asleep. I got up and moved my muscles, and suddenly I found a man standing in front of the grimace stone door.
I rubbed my eyes and realized that it was Tony, who was looking intently into the cave with a cigarette in his right hand.
I stepped over to Tony and asked, "Do you see clearly?" ”
Tony didn't look back, just said lightly, "I didn't plan to see it clearly." ”
"And smoke? Bring me one. ”
Tony tossed me the cigarette and lighter, and I lit it casually, spitting out smoke rings in front of the door with him.
After taking two puffs, I thought, the turbidity emissions in here are about the same......
So he took a big step forward.
But at this point, my feet retracted in a hurry.
Because the palpitations were too strong, the hint of mortal danger enveloped me again.
Intense, unprecedentedly intense.
For a moment I was a little out of breath.
Seeing my reaction, Tony still said lightly, "Maybe we shouldn't keep the door open, we should keep the door." ”
I took a puff of the remaining cigarette and replied, "You see that?" ”
"I can see it, I've never seen you react so much."
I was somewhat silent.
Tony seemed to see through my thoughts and said, "What? Regretted it? ”
I nodded and said, "Yes, but now that the arrow is on the line, the result of our hard work may be in it." If we say that we can retire now, and don't say whether we can return it, won't all our hard work be in vain? Little Tiger ...... Didn't Xiaohu die in vain......"
Tony also snuffed out the cigarette butt and said, "We can go with you if you want to, but when we get inside, we don't necessarily care about keeping the others, as long as you and that little bastard are alive." ”
I smiled slightly and said, "I don't necessarily have no combat power, the more eerie and terrifying the place, the more afraid I am, because I have it." ”
Tony looked over at the small box in my hand.
A golden needle was shining with a faint light.
