Chapter Twenty-Six: Staying Alive
I opened my eyes from the darkness, and it was still dark. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I seemed to have lost all my senses, and there were only all kinds of pains that proved my existence, pain, Jinnyima's pain, my head, legs, throat, and heart.
Am I already dead, and this place now, is hell? What kind of sin did Lao Tzu create, or he couldn't live in peace, and he had to suffer such pain when he died.
I rolled over, trying to change to a more comfortable position, but found that my body was confined by something, and it was difficult to move.
I stretched out my hand and touched it, it was cold, I simply tried to turn my head, and put my face on something, the biting coldness gradually overwhelmed the pain, and my groggy brain cleared up a little.
If this is hell, then it's too small, too embarrassing, like ...... It's like a coffin, wait, coffin!
I suddenly remembered the coffins of the generals under the jade platform, after my eldest brother knocked me unconscious, in order to protect me, would he hide me in the coffin?
I put my hand in my trouser pocket, but fortunately, the phone was still there, and I took it out and looked at it, it was already the middle of the night, and it had been more than ten hours since I entered the library.
I turned on the flashlight, and the strong light made my eyes very uncomfortable, which had become accustomed to the darkness, and I rubbed my eyes, and when I looked closely, I found that I was covered with stone slabs on all sides.
This is a sarcophagus, except that it is a little small, it is almost exactly the same as the one in Lao Zhao's shop.
I reached out and touched the junction between the coffin lid and the coffin, and found that the sarcophagus was not tightly fitted, leaving a finger's wide gap, and my eldest brother left me such a wide gap, probably not just to let me breathe.
I put my finger in the slit and buckled it, and I felt some small iron balls.
The sarcophagus and the Qingtong coffin are not as heavy as the wooden coffin, the coffin lid is extremely heavy, and the big one can even reach a thousand catties, which is not something that can be shaken by manpower, of course, except for the guy who can carry the tripod like Lao Zhao.
Therefore, when tomb robbers open this kind of coffin, they often just pry open a gap, put balls on the inside to reduce friction, and then directly overturn the coffin lid on the ground.
I bent my legs, lifted my knees and pushed up with a lot of strength, the lid was different, I pressed the lid tightly, my legs moved forward, and the lid moved forward some distance.
I inserted my two hands into the gap that I had just pushed out with my legs, and pushed forward with the strength of my breastfeeding, and boom, the coffin lid slid forward for another half a meter, which was enough for me to get out.
Holding the edge of the coffin with my hand and my phone in my mouth, I propped my tired body out of the coffin and rolled over and fell to the ground.
After a short break, I stood up with my back against the sarcophagus, and took a picture of the surroundings with my mobile phone, there were broken vines everywhere, and the coffins of several other generals had all been opened, and at the same time, I found a backpack on the ground not far from me.
It was my eldest brother's backpack, and I opened it and found a flashlight, a bottle of water, and a few boxes of canned beef, in addition to that, a voice recorder.
I took out the voice recorder and pressed the play button, and the familiar sound came through it, and I couldn't hold back my tears.
"Li Mo, when you hear this recording, I may no longer be there, forget about me, don't look for me, don't try to investigate everything about me, just because I never existed.
"Stay away from those people, don't get involved in all this, and be an ordinary person again, the truth is not something you can bear.
"The roadmap is in the right pocket of your jacket, forget what happened here, and then, live well.
"You have to remember that nothing is as simple as it seems, the human heart is complicated, and it is likely that the person who kills you will be the closest person to you, but no matter what, I am on your side.
"I'm sorry, big brother may not be able to cover you anymore in the future...... Good bye! ”
I reached out and touched my pocket, and sure enough, the road map was inside, and I let out a trombone and stumbled like crazy to the jade platform.
The black iron coffin had been opened, and there were traces of battle everywhere on the jade platform, and there were a lot of blood stains, I couldn't tell whether it was my eldest brother or the witch king's, but there was no one on it, and there was not a single corpse.
I searched desperately, but I couldn't find any clues, and the two of them seemed to have evaporated from the world.
I comforted myself again and again, but my reasons were overturned again and again, this time, he was afraid that he was really lucky, and I was even fantasizing that he would suddenly jump out and tell me that it was just a joke, or touch my head and tell me how could something happen to your eldest brother, but nothing.
For a while, my heart was like a knife, and I fell on the jade platform, and my tears fell like beads of broken threads.
I had killed him, and I thought that if I hadn't gone out for a walk, if I hadn't gone to the library, if I hadn't found the damn tombway, if I hadn't come to this dungeon, I wouldn't have been destroyed that day, and the Witch King wouldn't have been released.
It's not direct, but I'm the culprit behind the release of the Witch King.
I pounded the ground with my fists, punch after punch, and smashed my hand to a pulp.
The sharp pain was severe, but it was not as painful as the pain in my heart.
I was awakened from my sad atmosphere by a loud noise, but unusually clear in the silence.
I turned on my flashlight and shone it over, and saw the little monkey crawling towards me around the black iron coffin.
I put the flashlight on the ground and the little monkey crawled over, and I looked at it, and it looked at me, and I saw myself in its dark eyes.
As the minutes ticked by, I slowly calmed down, feeling that something was broken in my heart and something was erected.
I stood up, walked to the bottom of the jade platform, took out the mineral water in my backpack and poured it in one go, then opened the can, grabbed it with my hand and ate it in a big gulp.
I put my backpack on my back and stood up, the desire to survive was stronger than ever.
To live, I must live, for myself and for the sake of my eldest brother, I must live, and then find him.
Fu Xi said to me, this is a big gamble, and our opponent is fate.
In that case, since fate has forced me to come here, then I might as well let go and fight it.
Maybe one day, I will be the one I fear the most.
But all of this, I must find an answer.
