Chapter 15: Bless Me!
When I opened the tunnel, I was stunned for a full minute, it was hard for me to imagine that all this was real, it was really just a simple coincidence? There are countless people in this world who have prayed to God and worshiped Buddha, but the kind of examples that have been successful just after walking out of the temple gate should be rare.
I didn't rush down the tunnel, but gathered away all the broken bones that I hadn't carefully packed before, rewrapped the cloth bag, held it in my hand, and patted the cloth bag again:
"Bless me."
I think this guy can give me some security and confidence.
Then, I went down the tunnel.
I don't know where the tunnels lead, but I know that instead of staying here, I might as well try my luck while I still have some strength and I'm not completely hungry.
After all, outside the main burial chamber, whether it is ghosts hitting the wall or those deliberate little snakes, it is not something I can deal with.
The tunnel wasn't damp at all, it was dry, and the space in the tunnel wasn't very high, so I had to bend down a little to get there, but the dryness here made me feel a little more at ease, because it meant that it was stable, and when there were collapses in many parts of the main burial chamber, it wouldn't happen here at least when I walked halfway to find that the front was blocked.
The candle was carefully tended in the palm of my hand, and I bent over and walked slowly forward, roughly estimating that I should have walked for about ten minutes, and the tunnel began to slowly steepen upwards.
Is this going up?
I felt a rush of ecstasy, if I walked down the tunnel, I guess I would have to weigh it, I didn't want to be ground, and since it was facing upwards, it meant that I could get closer to the surface, and it also meant that the hope of being rescued would increase.
As I walked a little further, I noticed that the walls of the tunnels began to change, the bricks began to disappear, and they were replaced by pure stone walls, which I guessed was that the tunnels were connected to this location, combining natural and artificial passages.
I started to try to climb up, but fortunately it wasn't vertical, the slope wasn't outrageous, it was a bit like a mountaineering, and the rock walls were dry and didn't make me slip.
I really don't know how long I've been walking this time, because I'm already a little numb, the fatigue has begun to strike, and I know that my physical condition is too bad to be bad, and the potential that I have been stimulated by psychological suggestion and shock again and again is almost overdrawn.
But I still have to grit my teeth and continue to walk, I can't stop, I must know that if I continue to stay in the main tomb before, there is still hope to wait for Qin Lao and them to come down to save me, but if I rest here, the ghost knows if Qin Lao and they will be able to find me in time.
Eventually, I noticed that water stains were starting to appear on the rock wall in front of me, which meant that I should be closer to the surface, and it was raining today, so it was normal for water to seep in here.
I kept cheering myself up in my heart, and at the same time, I kept creating expectations for myself in my heart, such as what I could eat, what I could drink, what kind of bed I could sleep in when I went out, and I kept "looking at plums to quench my thirst".
Eventually, the water began to get thicker and thicker, and even when I walked some distance further, a small tributary appeared, and the bigger the water, the happier I became, and the second candle had burned out, and I was not willing to light the last candle, but began to walk up in the dark.
My hands have long been cracked and there have been cuts, and I don't know how many wounds have been ground out of the stone wall on my arms and thighs, I don't care anyway, I just know that I'm going out, I'm really going out!
Although I have not been able to see the light, the joy in my heart began to grow stronger, and even began to laugh involuntarily, I remember that I went to the grave in the evening, so it should still be night, it doesn't matter if there is no light, I feel that I can go out immediately, and then I can lie in an open field with a starry sky above my head.
This is all the motivation for me to continue to support, I have already thought about it, after I go out, I will buy a cemetery for this guy I am carrying on my back to bury him, and I can't choose a cheap one, otherwise I'm really sorry for this buddy's spirit in the sky.
I wouldn't have been able to get out without this buddy.
It's here, it's almost there,
I can feel that the water stains on the wall are getting heavier and heavier, and I can even hear the sound of dripping water, which must be that it is still raining outside.
Clear,
It's clear,
I'm coming out,
It's coming out soon,
I started running, and even though the slope was up, I could still trot hunched over, because I was so excited, so excited that I couldn't help myself, and now I would love to kiss a strange man in the face even if I saw him.
At last I saw a sudden opening up in front of me, an exit that was diagonally upward, and I climbed up with great difficulty with the help of the uneven stones around me, and then the whole body tumbled down through the opening.
I'm secretly saying that if I get out of that cliff, wouldn't I just have to fall to pieces? It's careless, if you fall to death like this, it's really ridiculous.
My worries didn't come up though, because I landed quickly.
"Poof",
I felt my eyes, ears, mouth, and nose all filled with mud, and I was falling into the mud, and I began to struggle, but fortunately, the shore was not far away, and I could step on the ground under my feet, and I immediately climbed out, and the mud on my body made me very uncomfortable, but I was not too disgusted, as if I was used to it.
Raise your head,
I was confused,
I didn't see the stars or the moon,
I didn't see any raindrops, it was still dark all around, and my gut told me that I was still underground, and I hadn't climbed out yet!
I trembled and opened the package, I blew the fire fold again, this thing does not know how the ancients made and designed, it is still waterproof, the candle is placed in the pocket where the hair mound mark is located, so it can still be used, I lit the candle with great difficulty,
But when the light reappears,
I was stunned,
The quagmire under your feet is so familiar,
Even the few big rocks next to the mire are so obvious,
this
Isn't that where I first slipped?
I felt like I was drained of all my energy,
All the previous expectations and hopes turned into a joke at this time,
Immediately
I only felt that it was dark in front of my eyes, and the whole person fell straight forward.
This time
I really fainted, I was so tired and devastated.
The corpses that I had wrapped in a cloth bag were also spilled out because of my fall.
One of the skulls inside was facing me in a coma,
It was like a silent taunt and a sneer.
