XIX Ghost Gate

()

Yang Xiaoqi's meaning is obvious, x

Yang Xiaoqi said that there was nothing inside the stone statue except for the corpse, and the so-called space-time key could only be this dried corpse.

I glanced at the package he was holding the corpse and asked, "Then what do you say about this key?" ”。

He was speechless by my question, urging him to hurry, and everything was waiting until he got to that place.

Now that's all it takes. By the time I set off again, my equipment had already weighed a lot. There's no way around it, I don't want to run around with a dry corpse on my back.

This time, we only walked for ten minutes before we came to the edge of the stone figurines. I think Yang Xiaoqi's guess may be right, we really encountered a ghost hitting the wall just now.

We paused a little at the edge of the group of stone figurines. There are only a few broken stone figurines scattered in front of them, and they can no longer be seen in their original appearance. Yang Xiaoqi found a place and stopped for a moment, he looked around, as if looking for a way to go next.

"Where should we go?" The wound on my leg began to bleed again, and I grinned in pain. It wasn't the time to relax, so I gritted my teeth and endured.

Yang Xiaoqi corrected the compass on the side and did not answer my words. Seeing that he was so serious, I didn't bother him anymore, and rested on a stone statue by myself.

I lit a cigarette and watched my surroundings as I sipped it.

In fact, there is nothing to see, and there is nothing that can attract people's attention except for a few stone figurines on the ground.

After looking at it for a while, I felt that my eyelids were a little heavy, and then I went to see that Yang Xiaoqi was still there with a compass. In order not to put myself to sleep, I had no words to distract myself.

"I've been looking at it for so long, have you found it?" I asked Yang Xiaoqi.

He raised his head and finally glanced at me, his face was difficult to open, he thought for a moment and said to me: "The direction of the compass calculates, we are now close to the main tomb, but you look around, there is nothing at all." ”。

I don't have a good heart, and the two of us can be sure that there is no sign of a tomb in this vicinity with all four eyes, so why is it that the compass shows that it has arrived.

"Could it be that the compass is broken, or is it time to put on the battery?" I asked.

He looked at me with idiotic eyes and said, "Your compass still uses batteries." Of course, there is a possibility of breakage, but it is extremely low. After all, this compass is an antiquity, and although it is not priceless, it is also rare. How can it be said that the pregnancy is bad".

I was also muttering in my heart, there are only two explanations for this situation, either the compass is broken, or Yang Xiaoqi, a halfway monk, is incompetent and can't understand the meaning expressed on the compass.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through my mind, and I immediately remembered the third possibility.

Ground floor.

The main burial chamber may be hidden in the basement level of our location.

I said what I thought, and Yang Xiaoqi really patted his head and said that there is such a possibility.

"Let's search this place. Let's see if there are any clues. He said to me.

I asked him what if he didn't?

In that case, he said, we had to find a suitable location, and then we would do it again to find out if there was really an ancient tomb hidden underground.

The matter is already a foregone conclusion, and we have no other options. can only follow what Yang Xiaoqi said.

The two of them took a short break before searching the vicinity. Since the flashlight has a limited battery, and we don't know how long we will be in this tomb, we turned off one of the flashlights just in case, leaving only the one in my hand.

In this way, our search speed is even slower, but fortunately it is not very large in this area, and soon we will see the stone wall, and roughly estimate, the area without stone statues is at most half a kilometer in diameter.

The two of us walked in a semicircle along the stone wall, and there was no entrance near the stone wall.

"Looks like you're really going to do it. We're..."Before I could finish my sentence, I was suddenly attracted by a dark shadow of a building in the distance. "What do you see there?" I asked Yang Xiaoqi.

A vague silhouette appeared in the distance, and if you look closely, it should be a place similar to the gate of the army, built of simple stone pillars, but it looks very tall. Standing cold in the dark, there is a bit of gloom.

"Isn't this going to be a hell of a door?" I lowered my voice and said.

Yang Xiaoqi waved his hand and told me to be careful.

Not far away, we had already arrived there when we were discussing, but what we didn't expect was that this was really a stone gate with several stone pillars combined.

"Wait," I was just about to go in, but was suddenly stopped by Yang Xiaoqi.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

He looked puzzled and said to me, "We were here once. You see, the area of the stone gate is not small, and there is no reason why we can't see it just now. What do you think? ”。

When I thought about it carefully, I also broke out in a cold sweat. Yang Xiaoqi is right, we really passed by this place just now, and we also rested here for a while. The more I looked at it, the more wrong it became, and I was already a little scared in my heart.

Damn it, isn't this the place we just came out of? There's the stone statue I leaned on next to it. There were also cigarette butts I threw away on the ground. ,

"What's going on? Is it haunted? My scalp exploded and asked Yang Xiaoqi anxiously.

Yang Xiaoqi's forehead began to break out in a cold sweat, and he said that he had never encountered such a situation, and he couldn't tell what it was.

"Is it a mechanism?" I asked.

"I don't know. Do you want to go in and have a look? He asked.

I immediately scolded in my heart, look at the fart, this door suddenly popped up, what is inside the sky, what if you go in like this, what if you die inside.

Although I thought so in my heart, there was no better way to go now, but it was a bit reckless to go in like this.

"Let's figure out what's going on first, as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, and when you come here, it's always right to be careful," I said.

Yang Xiaoqi looked at me strangely and said, "Why didn't you be so careful."

I told him not to talk so much nonsense, and to see what this door is all about? Why did it pop up all of a sudden?

He said strangely: "I've heard of ghost cars, ghost ships, and ghost mounds before, is this the ghost gate in front of you?" ”。

I saw that he was babbling endlessly, and asked him puzzled: "What kind of ghost ship ghost car, you can be clear." ”。

He snorted and said to me, "Haven't you heard about the ghost ship? ”。

I nodded, knowing what the ghost ship and ghost car meant. But I don't know what the ghost mound is.

Yang Xiaoqi explained: "The so-called people become old and refined, not only people at first, even if the objects are old, they will also become spiritual. In other words, to have a soul. It's the same with the ghost car, it's the same with the ghost ship, it's all dead things, and all people see is the soul of that thing. As for the ghost mound, in the same way, it is also a kind of tomb soul. So I think it's likely that what we're encountering in front of us is the Ghost Gate. ”。

I immediately understood what he was saying, and said uncertainly, "You mean, there was a door in itself, but it disappeared for some other reason, and we see that it is the soul of the people now?" ”。

Yang Xiaoqi snapped his fingers, which startled me, and he smiled faintly: "Yes, that's the truth." The door in front of us is probably a generation older than the tomb here. ”。 He pondered for a moment, then continued, "Of course, it could also be the legendary Celestial Tomb. ”。

"Celestial Tomb?" I wondered, "What is the tomb?" ”。
