Chapter 7: The Ecstasy Road

The seventh master said unhurriedly, "There must be a branch in this thief hole, leading to other directions, I was in a hurry when I came in just now, I didn't pay attention, the dry corpse must be near the mouth of the branch, the vibration was relatively large when we came in, I don't know what we touched, this dry corpse just fell out, and it just fell on you." ”

I recalled it carefully, thinking that what the Seventh Master said made sense, and reasoning according to his words, it was completely reasonable, and it also explained why this dry corpse appeared on my back out of thin air.

I didn't hesitate immediately, and followed the seventh master into the thief hole, Huzi and Huanzi saw that the two of us entered the thief hole, and hurriedly followed.

After walking for about five or six minutes, the seventh master stopped, looked at the ground, and said, "This is it, the dried corpse we met here just now, let's hurry up and look around." ”

The dry corpse was the one I encountered, and I knew the location best, so I hurriedly groped forward carefully, and sure enough, I found a circular hole on the side of the robbery hole, and I hurriedly beckoned everyone to come over, "Seventh Master, Huzi, Huanzi, come, I found that there is a circular opening in my place." ”

Hearing me scream, the biggest reaction was Huzi, three or two steps rushed towards me, I was looking into the round thief hole, I felt something behind me slammed into it, the body was unstable, and I fell into it.

I knew that it must be the daredevil, Huzi, who hit me, and now I didn't have time to scold him, I fell head-on and ate, I just wanted to stand up, but I didn't have time to see the environment clearly, I only felt a creak under my feet, I don't know the sound of something breaking, I secretly screamed badly, I felt that my body suddenly hung in the air, and then fell down, and there was only one thought in my heart, "It's over, this time it's dead." ”

At this moment, I only felt the backpack on my shoulder tighten suddenly, and the falling body stopped, I instinctively looked back, only to see the hook hand of the seventh master hooked my rucksack, and the left hand pulled the tiger, and the tiger was standing outside the circular thief hole.

"Huzi, you fucking want to kill me! I'm going to kill you. ”

"I don't want to fucking ah, who knew you were so unreckless, just hit it and went down."

As soon as I heard that Huzi didn't apologize at all, I didn't get angry, and just wanted to open my mouth to scold him, I heard the seventh master say, "Don't fucking nonsense, come up quickly, if you fall down, you will definitely die." ”

Hearing the seventh master say this, how dare I delay, I hurriedly used my strength to feed, used both hands and feet, and climbed up desperately, and it took the boss's strength to climb up.

Then I took out a flashlight to the place just now, only to see the oval square brick structure was artificially planed, behind the square brick is a thin layer of white wax, just now I stepped on this wax layer, now the wax layer has been stepped out of a hole by me, along the hole to look in, scared me out of a cold sweat, below this is a square stone room, densely packed inside three layers of outer three layers lying on the ground are the kind of scorpions we have seen, do not need to count, there must be thousands, although our clothes with a strong smell, These scorpions can be dispelled, but there are so many scorpions below, if they really fell just now, they would really have to go to Lord Yama for tea.

The seventh master carefully checked the surrounding environment with a wolf-eyed flashlight, "Count your kid's life, this should be the top of the ear chamber of the tomb, the square bricks on the top of the tomb were removed by a group of people, and the ash layer leaked out, this white wax has a total of two layers, the middle is hollow, and there are generally organs, the most common of which is the fire oil, as long as the ash layer is broken, the ignition device connected to the dark place is started, and the fire oil will rub out, the temperature is extremely high, and people will burn out in ten seconds, and now it seems that the mechanism here should be broken by the last group of people, You kid really have to thank the dry corpse lying on your back just now, otherwise it wouldn't be me who is chatting with you now, but Lord Yama. However, this group of people is not simple, I don't know what method was used, the oil was extracted, but the ash layer was not damaged, only a small hole was dug in the northeast corner, it seems that it is experienced. ”

I followed the light and looked over, and sure enough, in addition to the big hole I had just stepped out, in the northeast corner of this space, there was a circular hole one meter wide, with a very flat edge, which seemed to be made by some professional equipment.

Huzi looked around and said, "Damn, there are scorpions down there, how do we go down?" Even if it goes down, isn't that going to be named by himself? ”

The Seventh Master looked at the mouth that was only three or four meters away from us, but looked at the top of the half-demolished tomb around us, and there was only a very thin walkway to go through, and said, "Since they went down from there, I think there must be other passages there, let's go over and have a look first." ”

After that, the four of us put our backs against the wall, and walked towards the entrance one after another, and the seventh master walked in front of the entrance, and shone a flashlight on it, "This is a road!" There are no scorpions. "Anyway, I jumped down first, and I hurriedly followed.

After coming down, I saw a two-meter-high, two-meter-wide square road, which runs through the left and right, and I don't know where it is connected.

"Seventh Master, where can this road lead?"

The Seventh Master shone it with a flashlight and said, "It should be able to connect to the main tomb, but I don't know if it's on the left or right." ”

Huan Zi was honest, looked to the left, looked at the right and said, "Take a gamble, let's go to the right, shall we?" ”

Anyway, no matter left or right, we have to take a walk, simply, we listen to Huanzi, walk to the right, the road is very long, the whole is made of bluestone bricks, due to the perennial humidity underground, the road is very slippery all around, and the feet are also covered with moss, we slowed down, walked for about 20 minutes, and still did not see the end of the road.

At this time, Huzi accidentally fell and hit a hole in his forehead, and Huzi hurriedly covered his head.

"Damn, why are you so slippery, you fell to my death."

Huzi fell like this, attracted our attention to the past, looked at the tiger is not a big deal, and continued to walk forward, about another twenty minutes, this road is like an endless walk, walking around, there is no end.

At this moment, the Seventh Master stopped, knocked on the wall of the corridor and said, "No, this tomb shouldn't be so big, something must be wrong." ”

I carefully observed this corridor, and after looking at it for a long time, I didn't notice anything wrong, "Seventh Master, maybe this is a tomb that is really so big, let's take a look again, maybe there is an exit ahead." ”

The seventh master also looked at it for a long time, but he didn't find anything abnormal, so he could only nod, and we continued to move forward.

After walking for about half an hour, we all felt a chill in our hearts, it seemed that there was really something wrong with this road, and it was not because of the size of the tomb, so we stopped and looked at it carefully.

I turned on the flashlight inch by inch to check the walls around the corridor, except for the wet and smooth, there seems to be nothing other suspicious, just when I was about to give up, suddenly the light of the flashlight hit a place in the corner of the corridor, and I was suddenly shocked, there was a trace of blood in the corner, thinking back to the situation just now, it should be left by the tiger when he fell just now.

"Seventh Master, look, here, we're back again."

The seventh master looked at it carefully, and his face was heavy, "I haven't encountered such a situation before, let's go back, go back and forth, and see if we can touch the hole we came down from just now." ”

Huzi sat on the ground with a butt, "Lao Tzu is tired, I'll rest." ”

After that, he took out the kettle to drink water, just unscrewed the lid, Huan Zi also sat down to rest, the two accidentally bumped together, Huzi's kettle snapped and fell to the ground, and the water spilled out, and Huzi quickly picked it up in distress.

"You fucking make trouble, Lao Tzu drank saliva and was ......"

The seventh master waved his hand, signaled Huzi to be quiet, and bowed his head to look down at the spilled water.

Huan Zi wanted to come forward and ask the Seventh Master, but I stopped him, now the most experienced person in this tomb is the Seventh Master, it is obviously unwise to disturb him when he is thinking carefully, maybe we will miss an opportunity to find the main tomb.

After a while, the Seventh Master stood up and said, "This road is not straight, but inclined downward, and the water flows low, obviously the left side is bottom, and the right side is high. ”

I didn't understand what he meant and hurriedly asked him.

The Seventh Master turned on the flashlight and shone on the left side of the road, and said, "I'm afraid we will go to the left now, and we won't be able to find the hole we came down just now, this is a gossip and ecstasy." ”

I was stunned when I heard it, when I read the ancient books at the Seventh Master, I roughly understood this kind of ecstasy road, the earliest record was in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it is rumored that King Wu of Zhou was trapped by this kind of road when he led the troops, so later people also called this kind of road as the trapped dragon lock, in fact, it is a road, the height is slightly inclined up and down, and it seems to be walking in a straight line, but in fact it has been going around in circles, the builder uses a very small height difference to make people's sense of direction blocked, if you can't find the secret door of the organ, I'm afraid you can only go around in a circle in one place for a lifetime.

And the seventh master added the word gossip in front of the Ecstasy Dao, which made me very puzzled, could this ecstasy Dao have something to do with the number of gossip? So I asked him what gossip and ecstasy was.

The seventh master sat on the ground, lit a cigarette, and said, "You all know Zhuge Liang, right?" We nodded our heads.

"In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang can trap tens of thousands of troops in it with a few stones and can't get out, although the writing is a bit exaggerated, but since the novel is written, there are naturally traces to follow, what we encounter now is similar to that, you look carefully." The Seventh Master pointed to a square brick opposite him.

We hurriedly gathered around to take a look, and after looking at it for a long time, we didn't notice anything unusual, and then turned our heads to look at the seventh master.

The seventh master sighed and said, "You take a closer look at the square bricks of this Yongdao, the size and texture are exactly the same, but the one in front of us, the texture has changed slightly, and it is a little larger than the square brick next to it." ”

I hurriedly turned around and continued to look at the square brick that the seventh master pointed to, which felt wrong, after the seventh master said this, I found that this square brick is indeed slightly larger than other square bricks, but the amplitude of the upper and lower left and right is not more than one centimeter, if you don't stare at it carefully, you must not be able to see it, not to mention the dark environment here, you can only use the flashlight to illuminate, but the seventh master can actually see the difference between this brick in this environment, I secretly admired the seventh master in my heart for his meticulous observation, While carefully looking at the lines on the bricks, I found that the other bricks were engraved with ancient dragon patterns, but this one, engraved with a unicorn, although the carved lines are very simple, but if you look carefully, you can still tell the difference between the ancient dragon and the unicorn, and I couldn't help but be stunned.
