32. Scareless stupefied?
Chen Bing was already about to sink out again, but when he heard what I said, he stood up excitedly, forced himself to walk to my side, and reached into the hole, which was already spacious by me with the shadow moon. He fumbled for a while, and then said in amazement: "I didn't think that there was really a hole in the back, then it seems that this is definitely not a trap made by hunters, there is really a secret door to hide somewhere." ”
This time we decided to split up and look for each other, not letting go of any corner, and just as I was about to find the head, I suddenly heard Chen Bing shouting behind me: "Little girl, come and see." I quickly turned and walked over to him, "What did you find?" ”
"You come and look at the corners of this, it doesn't seem to be sealed." The sound came from below, he was squatting on the ground, I also squatted down to touch the corner gap between the ground and the wall, and sure enough, I touched a little gap, and without hesitation, I took the shadow moon and inserted it into it, and cut horizontally, the opening became a little bigger, until it was scratched to the position where it was resisted, and I estimated that the distance at the bottom was about one and a half meters, very much like the bottom of a door.
So I tried to cut straight up, but it didn't take much effort and I quickly found the cut. As the shape of a door gradually formed under the cutting of the shadow moon, my heart rate became faster and faster, and finally I was able to determine that the rectangular shape in front of me, two meters high and one and a half meters wide, was where the secret door was.
I pushed it in hard, not moving, and my mind flashed the scene of Sheng Shiyao opening the heavy stone door in the ancient castle, although this is not a double door, but there must be a mechanism, otherwise it will not be opened by manpower. I groped around the stone gate little by little, and I felt it very carefully, even if there was a slight bulge, and I tried all kinds of things. It wasn't until I felt the crack in the bottom door that I finally found the machine scraper, which was a raised stone the size of a thumb, and when I pressed it hard, there was a rustling sound of grinding stones, and it seemed that more than one place had sunk in.
After touching a few centimeters, I suddenly noticed that it seemed to be a handprint, and I spread my palm and put it into the handprint, just five fingers were closed, but obviously the craftsman who made this handprint was much larger than my hand, and almost wrapped my hand in it. I pressed hard but couldn't press it, I tried to rotate clockwise and found that it moved, and when I rotated past 90 degrees, there was movement in front of me, and the sound of the stone door turning in the darkness came first, but it stopped after a short time.
I touched it with my hand and found that the door had turned ten centimeters to the inside, but the door panel was too thick for us to walk. But the mudra turned clockwise but it didn't move, so I pressed it inward again, and this time the mudra was pressed a finger away, and then it was turned again, and when I turned 180 degrees in this way, the door was completely open and upright.
With the breeze in the vast space, I let out a long breath and succeeded!
Even if the road ahead is still dark, but at least it is no longer confined in a small space waiting for death, I gritted my teeth and walked through the stone gate, listened quietly, and did not find anything unusual, at this time Chen Bing also came over. He said not to be reckless, let him listen to the smell of animals nearby, it turned out that the first lesson he learned in this secret art was to identify the smell of animals in the surrounding environment.
After listening for a while, he said that there would be no animals within at least 100 meters. This is also a little more reassuring, because I am most afraid that in this place where there is air, there will be unknown creatures hidden in the dark, which is really impossible to prevent.
I wrapped the rope that connected Chen Bing's hand back to my wrist and took the lead to move forward first, after what I had just experienced, I was embarrassed to let a septuagenarian be a pioneer, especially since he was seriously injured and had a relationship with his grandmother. His breathing was visibly thickened, and only his heavy gasping could be heard in the quiet atmosphere.
After walking through a platform, I found that it was a step down, and I walked step by step into a hundred steps before the end, and I felt a little uneasy, if the stairs continued, where did this have to extend? The secret room we were in just now was dozens of meters above the surface, and now if we go down further, how deep does this place have to be?
Finally, when I walked more than fifty steps, I reached a flat place, where the eyes were useless, and I could only rely on the ears. Fortunately, Chen Bing's ear power is beyond ordinary people, and he can hear the slightest abnormality, which is not when I step on a certain place, he hurriedly shouted: "Wait! Don't move, you might have stepped on the trap. "My heart was cold, I didn't dare to move, and I obviously felt that there was a depression under my feet.
Holding his breath, he didn't dare to breathe, countless possibilities flashed in his mind, only to hear Chen Bingji whisper: "Count to three, and you will lie down." This trap, at most, is a crossbow with a range of air. I whispered, and listened as he counted to three, and the man swooped forward, and his feet were out of that position.
The imaginary rain of arrows did not come, and there was a sound of pushing in the corners of the surroundings, and then there was a fire, and it was lit up one by one, because the light came out slowly, so the eyes had an adaptation process even if they were in the dark for a long time, and when the light was bright enough for the eyes to see, I found that the place I was in was a square space, covering an area of several hundred square meters, and the automatic lighting was a lamp, pushed out from the four walls.
After a little counting, there were four lights on each wall, a total of sixteen, and the light was not enough to reach every corner, but it was many times better than the pitch black just now. I looked back and saw that Chen Bing was also lying on the ground with a look of surprise on his face, and the staircase, which was nearly one hundred and fifty steps, stretched into the darkness. The material of the stone steps seems to be the same as the stone slabs under me, all of them are white, and there are some old stone tools piled up around it, including stone beds, stone chairs, stone mills, etc., which are very messy, and some of them are crooked to the ground, very much like a group living place.
I got up from the ground and patted the dust on my body, and I could see with bright eyes, which was much better than before, and I could distinguish the direction. I said, "Let's take a look." Chen Bing stopped me and said, "Let me walk in front, this place is very weird, and it is easy to touch it if you are not careful." I don't know much about it, but I'm better than you. ”
I didn't object, he was right, this time I was lucky enough to run into a lantern machine, and next time if it was really a deadly mechanism, looking at the environment here, there was nowhere to hide. So Chen Bing walked in front of the road, and I was ready to respond at any time in the back, but through the entire space, nothing unusual happened, and at this time we had come to a door.
The door was not closed, a gap had been exposed, and the wind that could be felt all the time came in through this gap, so we didn't need to think about whether to pull or push, the two looked at each other, and at the same time reached out and pushed out, and the door slowly opened.
Before we could see clearly, suddenly a black shadow rushed to our face, it came too fast, and we didn't have time to react, and the person was knocked down. I reflexively raised my foot to kick, then rolled to the side, and when I looked back, it was a mouse as huge as a four or five-year-old child, and it was pounced on Chen Bing at this time. Ignoring the fear, I hurriedly reminded: "Quick, you use the secret technique to control it." As soon as the words fell, two more rats pounced outside the door, and each of these rats had blood-red eyes, and looked at us like food.
You can guess on your toes that this giant rat is going to eat people!
But what I didn't expect was that the giant rat turned around and pounced on me, while Chen Bing rushed out of the door in a hurry. Only then did I suddenly understand that the reason why Chen Bing asked to go ahead was because his sensitive ears had already heard movement outside the door, and I was afraid that I would find out that he was secretly thinking about summoning the secret technique, so he deliberately asked for it.
The human heart is sinister, and it is really the harshest lesson. At this time, I should not think much else, just imagine three giant rats the size of children pounce on people, and the scene is not something that can be described by fear. I instinctively pulled out Shadow Moon to resist, and when I stabbed one of the heads, I was also bitten in the shoulder by the other, and I let out a cry of pain. Am I really going to die at the hands of these terrible monsters?
There was a loud bang, which shook my eardrums, but at the same time, the giant rat that was biting on my shoulder was bounced out, and it was ...... Gunshot? Before I could change my mind, there were two more sounds, and the other two giant rats flew out, and I followed the sound to look, and saw a long figure standing in the dark in front of the half-open door.
Judging by the outline, it's a person! Could it be that Chen Bing went and returned, I blamed him just now, but in fact he ran out to find a way? But how could he have a gun?
In the next moment, a cold and familiar tone rose in mid-air: "Are you scared silly?" ”
I felt a tingling of my scalp, and the sound slowly echoed in my ears, so I sat on the ground in a daze, staring at the figure walking in from the darkness, and the first thing I saw was a pair of black boots, and my eyes gradually fixed on that face.
Chen Bing said that they sank into a large quicksand pit dozens of meters wide, and it was impossible to regenerate it, and I yelled at him in my mouth, but I was anxious and frightened, and even afraid. Tilting his head and talking in a daze: "Sheng Shiyao, you are not dead......
The man's good-looking eyebrows raised, and he stared down into my eyes and said, "Why are you looking at me to die?" ”
"I didn't!" How could I want him to die? I found myself choked up as I spoke.
He crouched down and looked at me for a long time before looking away at my shoulder, which had just been bitten by a giant rat, and his clothes were torn and his whole shoulder was numb. He frowned and said, "Your wound must be cleaned and disinfected immediately, otherwise it will become infected with germs." It's really going back more and more, why can't you even deal with an old man? ”
I didn't refute it, the truth is that I trust people too easily, and I got up from the ground with his hand, and his hand was held in his palm. The frightened heart finally calmed down, and I felt safe with him, even though I had countless questions to ask him, but I didn't ask, and let him lead me out the door.
Outside, there was no light in the house, and it was pitch black again. What was stuffed into his hand, I just heard him say in his ear: "Put it on and you can see it." I touched it and found that it looked like a pair of glasses, after wearing it on the eyes, I could really see after a green light, Sheng Shiyao explained softly beside me: "This is a pair of glasses specially made of night vision devices." ”
Night vision device, as the name suggests, is an instrument that can be seen in the dark, but he didn't think that he would have this kind of high-tech product on him.
