Chapter 18: The Gossip Agency
The sixth master was so anxious that he shouted behind us, Sun Litang and I climbed up like chicken blood, but unfortunately we were still a step late, "Boom~" We will never see a little light again.
"Cell phone! Cell phone! Call now! Blackskin reminded me.
I pulled out my phone and looked, and there was no signal. Sun Litang and the others also hurriedly took out their mobile phones, but unfortunately there was no signal for the damn reason.
"It's over, it's over, it's over. What the is this called? I crouched on the top steps of the corridor in frustration.
Sun Litang and Heipi were also dumbfounded, one was mixed with the old man, and the other was stunned, completely stunned.
The sixth master was so anxious that he slapped the wall, "Blame me, blame me." Actually, I should have expected it, and I just sent someone to take care of it. ”
But at this time, hindsight is useful for eggs. I hurriedly played a round, "Old man, don't blame yourself, now we have to find a way to get out quickly." ”
Sun Litang slammed the top of his head twice, and the dirt fell straight down, bleeding from his joints. The sixth master sighed and turned around and walked back, and we followed closely back to the tomb.
It's over, just now I was guessing the identity of the owner of the tomb, and it didn't take long for us to become the new owner of this tomb. No one passed by in this wilderness, and even if someone passed by and heard a cry for help from inside the grave, a fool would dig up the grave to save people.
We all quieted down and sat down, and the atmosphere suddenly became horrible and depressing, and we felt that we were in danger of not saving our lives.
Sun Litang came over to ask me for a cigarette and asked me if I had seen what the other party looked like just now.
I shook my head, the sunlight was coming in through the hole, and I couldn't see my face clearly from the inside. Sun Litang punched me, and I asked him if he saw it clearly, and he said, no.
Heipi waited for the old man to squat aside, and the sixth master no longer had the same calm demeanor as before, and began to sigh non-stop. I said in my heart that there were times when this old boy was deflated, but unfortunately I could not watch this old man's pain with a hippie smile, because I was also one of the people who was buried alive.
"There must be some mechanism, look for it again." Heipi was a little reluctant, so a few of us got up again to look here and there, and pulled the tomb all over.
We sat down again, but now we sat together, fear making us dependent on each other.
"It doesn't make sense, it can't be." I said, "If it's really like what the sixth master said, this tomb is reserved for the living to enter and exit, and he should always leave a mechanism in it after he finishes designing." ”
"But we looked for it, but we didn't. Maybe this guy designed one like that, come back and look at it and then go out and close it from the outside. The dead inside don't need a switch. Sun Litang said dejectedly.
"But he's not afraid that others will find out, or someone will mistakenly move the mechanism and completely suffocate himself inside?"
"It's a cemetery where no one usually comes, and besides, if he chooses to come at night, he doesn't have to worry about anyone finding out." Black skin choked.
"I said, can you two not raise the bar with me, keep saying these frustrating things." I moved my ass to move away from them.
The old man sighed again, "What Lin Feng said makes sense, you can look for it again." ”
Listening to what the old man said, we also have some bottom in our hearts. So began a carpet search for an unknown number of times. This search was very careful, even under the sarcophagus and the lid of the coffin.
"Nope." I say.
"Nope." Blackskin said.
"Sixth master, come and see, this hexagram seems to have changed." Hearing Sun Litang say this, all of us hurriedly stepped forward.
The sixth master took a closer look with his mobile phone, and after looking at it for a long time, he spoke, "But it's not, when we first came in, it was obviously a trigram against us, why has it become a hexagram now!" ”
I didn't understand what the old man was talking about, but I knew that something bad was happening, and I could clearly see that the three bars that were facing us had become two short and one long.
"Sixth uncle, is there any mechanism hidden behind this?" Blackskin stepped forward.
The old man muttered and touched his chin, "I can't say, I can't say." ”
"Regardless of whether it is or not, chisel it first." Sun Litang has been forced to the point where the dog jumps off the wall. Pick up a shovel and "boring" at the marble wall, which is two shovels, and the wall is indeed strong and abnormal. Sun Litang didn't give up, and hit the wall a few times more and more ruthlessly, and the stone wall hit "poof", but there was not even a small scratch.
"Forget it, don't be stupid." Blackskin said.
Hearing Heipi say this, Sun Litang no longer cares about the so-called face. "Boring and boring~" gave Shibi a few hard blows, then threw the shovel on the ground and sat aside angrily.
"There must be some way, there must be some way." The sixth master was pacing back and forth thoughtfully. So we slapped brick by brick along the wall, and of course, we didn't find anything.
We sat down again in despair, and it was half past ten in the night, and the old man had been pacing back and forth in front of the gossip carving, and the only thing that was certain was that there was indeed a mechanism on the wall, and that the moments on the wall were moving regularly at a speed that was barely visible to the naked eye. The air was suddenly quiet and terrible, as if we had been buried in the dust of the earth for a thousand years, and had long been forgotten by the world.
I wonder if my parents are going mad and now the mountains are looking for us; Will I have already reported the case to the local police station, I am most afraid of the strips; Will anyone see us coming in this direction during the day, and now we are hanging around in the lonely grave with a flashlight, and what will we do if we meet a mysterious person who wants to kill us?
The more I think about it, the more anxious I become, and the more I think about it, the more confused my mind becomes. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and the dry food we brought with us was almost eaten after we vented it repeatedly. "You can live for seven days without food, and you can only live for three or four days without water." I muttered quietly and wondered how long I would have the dry food and water in my pocket.
"Shhhhh The sixth master suddenly spoke, but no one of us spoke.
"Bang la ~ bang la ~ " The sound of water is the sound of water! Sun Litang shouted excitedly, "There is an underground river near here, there is an underground river. Then he excitedly picked up the military shovel "boring and boring" and desperately cut twice on the stone wall, but it was useless.
It was only at this time that the sixth master finally showed that kind of insightful smile again, "If my guess is correct, the rotation of the gossip map is definitely related to this underground river." ”
"You're saying it's powered by the living water down there?" The black skin suddenly realized.
The sixth master nodded, "The same is true for the organs above." ”
"But what's the use of this, people who are going to die, and they are still in the mood to care about its structure." I quipped.
The sixth master ignored my stubble, turned around and asked Sun Litang, "What time is it?" ”
Sun Litang looked at his watch, "It's half past eleven." ”
The sixth master said with a very confident smile, "I stood in front of this gossip for three hours, and I found that this hexagram would become the next hexagram every other hour. Now it is the Gen hexagram that becomes the Kun hexagram, and by tonight, when the yin qi is the heaviest, the Gen hexagram will become the Kun hexagram, and there is yang in the yin, and there is also life. ”
"It is commonly known as the Shengmen, we are saved." Blackskin was afraid that I wouldn't understand, so he explained. I nodded dumbfoundedly, so wait.
Half an hour is fast and slow. When the time on our phones showed 12:00, we stared intently at the wall in front of us. One minute, two minutes, five minutes...... However, nothing has changed.
I looked at the old man suspiciously, and said in my heart that this cowhide is blowing up, embarrassed. Sun Litang didn't give up, ran up and down to the entrance of the cave several times, and then came back and shook his head with a depressed face.
"Impossible, impossible." Then the old man's expression gradually turned into a kind of frustration.
"It's over, it's the end of the calf. I can't get out at all! "I stood up and tried to walk, but found that there was nowhere to go.
"Look again, look again." Blackskin screamed and stood up, his trust in his sixth uncle to the point of blindness, and then he began to continue to shoot every square brick on the stone wall.
"Don't shoot, there's no secret door." Sun Litang said.
Before the words "what if ......" were finished, the black skin disappeared.
