Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Way of the Rat

As I was standing at the very edge of the pillar, as soon as the pillar tilted, my feet were unstable, and my body slipped backwards, and my back was attached to the wall of the tomb, and if it were not for the fact that the pillar was very close to the wall, I might have fallen down just now.

At this time, as soon as I put my arm on the wall, I stood firmly, but I always felt that something was wrong, and when I looked down, there was a lot of moss sticking to my hands, and I couldn't help but wonder, how could there be moss on this good wall?

I was wondering in my heart, the tilting speed of this stone pillar began to gradually increase, and at this time, Wang Chuyi shouted, "No, why is this tomb so strange?" Look at the other three pillars! ”

I hurriedly looked towards the other three stone pillars, it was too sudden when it fell just now, and there was a dead sacrifice corpse here, I didn't have time to observe the tomb at all, now I took a closer look, only to find something strange, it turned out that the tomb had a total of four stone pillars to support the tomb, the other three were all from the ground, up to the top of the tomb, only the stone pillar we stood on was three or four meters away from the top of the tomb, I wondered in my heart, is it because the materials were not enough when building? Workers cut corners?

Then I immediately rejected this idea, at that time, to build such a huge ancient tomb, naturally it was not necessary to cut corners, and besides, this kind of stone pillar, not a gold pillar, there was no shortage of materials at all, and it was not valuable.

Thinking about it, I was suddenly stunned, and hurriedly turned to look at the wall I was leaning against when I fell just now.

I saw that there was an area on the wall that really grew moss! And it is along the brick joint, boxy and long, I know that this kind of tomb construction has very strict regulations, the mud of the bricks must be tamped, it must not grow any plants, like this kind of brick crack in the moss situation, there is only one possibility, that is, this area was not sealed at the beginning, but backfilled in the later stage, it is likely that the workers who built the ancient tomb in order to escape the rat road!

"Seventh Master, the first day of junior high school, come on, this should be a rat road!" As soon as the words fell, I kicked to the middle of the moss, only to hear a click, a thin layer of square bricks collapsed, I was happy, the first step into it, this rat road is very narrow, can only kneel on the ground to crawl, there is no space to turn around, and then I heard a sound behind me, it is estimated that Wang Chuyi also came in.

Just as I was about to climb forward, I heard Wang Chuyi shouting, "Seventh Master! Then a loud bang was heard, and the pillar collapsed.

I was shocked, the whole person lay flat on the ground, turned sideways and looked back, and found that there was only Wang Chuyi behind him, but he couldn't see the trace of the seventh master, and his heart twitched, could it be that the seventh master fell? So he hurriedly asked, "Where is the seventh master?" ”

"Can't die!" At this time, I heard the voice of the seventh master coming from the rat road mouth, I looked at it and found that a pair of hands were on the edge of the rat road mouth, and then the seventh master showed a head and said, "First year, if you don't climb forward, I really can't hold on." ”

I saw that at this time, the button on the seventh master's arm had been cracked, and the blood had penetrated two layers of gauze.

Wang Chuyi hurriedly stretched out a foot back, and the seventh master understood, so he used his hook hand to hook Wang Chuyi's pants to borrow strength.

I was relieved to see that the seventh master was fine, so I continued to climb forward, about three meters or so, and found that the mouse road was getting narrower and narrower, not to mention crawling on my knees, and now I can only lie on the ground with my whole body, squirming forward like a caterpillar, the most disturbing place is that there is a turn in the mouse road in front of me, I secretly complained in my heart, this turn is almost a ninety degree angle, and if you want to pass, you have to constantly adjust your body posture.

In this narrow space, it was just a turn of the rat path, and it took me more than ten minutes, thinking that if it was really a tiger following up, I was afraid that I would be blocked here.

The whole rat road adds up to about ten meters, but this short distance of ten meters, the three of us climbed for more than an hour, and when we came out, we were already covered with sweat, and the seventh master was even more sad, the blood on the clothes, sweat, and the mud stained in the rat road were mixed together, and it looked very embarrassed.

After a brief rest, we continued to walk, now we have reached the bottom of the underground palace, I looked up, only to see that the dense chain is less than a meter above our heads, through the gap in the chain, you can even see the tiger waiting on it, so I waved my hand at the tiger, indicating that we have come down safely.

Huzi also saw us, smiled on his face, and gave us a thumbs up.

I wiped the sweat on my head, looked back at the rat road, and sighed in my heart, this tomb robbery is really not capable of ordinary people, looking at the straight line distance between me and Huzi is at most more than ten meters, but it is these ten meters, it took us nearly five hours to arrive, during which two escapes from death, it can be said that life hangs by a thread, I dare not recall.

"Watch your step!" The seventh master reminded me, I quickly stopped my figure, and the foot I just stepped on stopped on the floor, and I didn't dare to step on it.

"What's wrong?" I asked hurriedly.

The seventh master bent down, his ears were close to the ground, and listened for a while, before he stood up with the support of Wang Chuyi and me, and said to us: "This is the last tomb road leading to the main tomb, it must be a heavy mechanism, I listened to it just now, there should be a tongue reed under this floor, and there must be a dark crossbow in this tomb road!" ”

Wang Chuyi nodded when he heard this, "Let's be careful." ”

Generally, experienced tomb robbers have the ability to explore the organs, and the industry calls it 'eye-ear tomb robbery' is to judge the location of the mechanism in the mausoleum by looking and listening, and if there is a mechanism under the ground, as long as you put your ears on the ground and gently tap twice with your fingers, you will immediately have a number in your heart.

With the experience of the seventh master, this basic skill is naturally not a problem, the seventh master took out the climbing rope, tied the military dagger to it, threw it forward, the saber fell to the ground with a clatter, and then the seventh master threw up the climbing rope and tried back and forth in the tomb.

After about a dozen throws, I heard a 'whoosh', and I felt that something was bounced out of the wall, but I couldn't see it, and in the next second, I saw that the mountaineering rope in the hand of the seventh master had been broken into more than a dozen sections, and the saber fell in the middle of the tomb and could not be recovered.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, sure enough, there was a mechanism, the material of this mountaineering rope brought by Wang Chuyi was very strong, even if it was with a saber, it would take a lot of effort to cut it, just now almost instantly, the entire mountaineering rope was broken into more than a dozen sections, and the most terrifying thing was that I couldn't see what was going on at all!
