Chapter 64: Inside the Iron Gate
The old prostitute heard me say that she wanted to open the iron door and go in, hesitated for a moment, looked at the iron door, put her hand on the knocker of the iron door, did not immediately pull it, made a short thought, and said to me and Xiao Moyan: "You guys stay back, if there is anything wrong, flash immediately." ”
After we took a few steps back, the old prostitute first tentatively tugged at the iron door with one hand, and the iron door was very heavy, and Wen Si did not move. Immediately after that, the old prostitute grabbed the door knocker on one side with both hands, gritted her teeth, and with a fierce force, she heard the rattling sound of the iron door, and the door on one side was immediately pulled open by the old prostitute.
After pulling open the iron door, the old prostitute did not rush to look inside, but retreated in front of me and Xiao Moyan, and waited for more than a minute, without seeing anything abnormal, before walking towards the iron door.
The old prostitute stood outside the iron door with the lamp bowl, looked inside, and did not speak for dozens of seconds. I thought he had seen something, so I hurriedly walked over to his side, and looked inside the iron gate.
I don't know if Lu Dao has a delusion on his own, or if his eyes are tired, it is dark inside the iron gate, and I can't see anything at all, it seems that the light source of the lamp bowl does not work for the darkness inside the iron gate.
The next action of the old prostitute proves that I am not mistaken, and it is indeed dark inside. He stretched the lamp bowl into the iron door, trying to see the situation inside, but it backfired, the light source of the lamp bowl was originally outside the iron door, and it could illuminate everything within a radius of two meters. But as soon as the lamp bowl was taken to the iron door, it was as if the light source had been weakened, and the distance that could be illuminated was less than half a meter. And this half meter is only a circle of light, and you can't see the surrounding situation at all.
I've been staring at the flame in the lamp bowl, and the flame hasn't gotten smaller, which puzzles me. If the flame in the lamp bowl becomes smaller, the illuminated area will also be smaller, which is normal, but this is not the case, the flame has not changed in any way, but the illuminated area has become smaller, and it is several times smaller, which is unbelievable.
Looking at the small circle of light illuminated by the flames in the lamp bowl, the old prostitute and I were confused, standing outside the iron door, and for a moment we didn't know what to do.
"My day, why is it so dark, and there are still cold fireworks?" The old prostitute stared straight inside and asked me.
"Yes, but," I hesitated, then added, "but it's the last one." ”
"Give it to me" The old prostitute held out a hand to me, but did not turn her head to look at me.
Although this thing wasn't ours originally, I'm really reluctant to use it at the moment, after all, this is the last cold fireworks, and I always feel that it's worth using it when I need it most. Besides, I've always wanted to save this cold pyrotechnic for when I go out, after all, we can't completely follow the memory to figure it out, it's too unrealistic.
Seeing that I hadn't handed him the cold fireworks for a long time, the old prostitute turned to look at me, as if she had seen my heart, and said, "My day, bring it, do you still expect a cold fireworks to take us out?" ”
Although what the old prostitute said is not unreasonable, the cold fireworks are bright enough, but the lasting time is too short, and the light that can be brought to us is only temporary, and it is not realistic to expect it to illuminate us out, but I still have a little reluctance in my heart, but I still handed the cold fireworks to the old prostitute.
After the old prostitute took the cold fireworks, she was unceremoniously, and instantly lit up the cold fireworks, and threw the cold fireworks into the iron door with all her strength.
Looking at the strength of the old prostitute, I thought that the cold fireworks would be thrown dozens of meters away, who would have thought that the iron gate was not high, and the cold fireworks hit the top, bounced down, and fell 5 meters away.
The old prostitute is also clever enough, seeing the cold fireworks hit the top and fall, she rushed into the iron gate with an arrow step, and kicked the cold fireworks on the ground forward with one kick.
I don't know why, after the cold smoke entered the iron door, the light source became much smaller, not as dazzling as the previous times, as if a film was shrouded in the light source.
Although the light source of the cold fireworks has been reduced, its brightness is not to be underestimated, and it can still be illuminated. Inside the iron gate is a seemingly deep tomb passage, and although it is not very clear, you can see that the walls on both sides are made of black stones.
At this time, the old prostitute did not stop, but followed the cold smoke rolling on the ground and ran inside. As soon as the cold fireworks stopped, the old prostitute followed with a kick, and it seems that the old prostitute also knows the preciousness of this last cold firework, and does not want to waste it in vain.
Seeing the old prostitute running towards the depths, I hurriedly beckoned Xiao Moyan to follow. I thought that the old prostitute would keep kicking the cold fireworks until they were extinguished, but he didn't expect that he stopped after running inside for a distance of only 20 meters.
When I ran into the iron gate, I felt a pungent smell of dust in the air, and when I ran to the old prostitute, I saw a thick layer of dust on the ground where the cold smoke and fire were shining in front of me.
It is rare for there to be dust in the tomb, and it is impossible for the tomb to be ventilated, and even if there is air, it is enclosed in the tomb. If there is no small air flow, the air is still, so it is impossible to produce dust, so there is very little dust in the ancient tomb, but here it is different, not only the ground is covered with dust, but even the walls of the black stones, there are some hanging on them.
Usually there are two situations when dust appears in the ancient tomb, either the construction is not well sealed, and the air outside and the air inside the tomb form an air flow. Either it has been stolen, and the hole has not been backfilled, and the air circulation is always maintained, which produces dust.
But the possibility of these two is very small, the ancient tomb construction is first in the closure and anti-theft, the probability of the closure problem is almost zero, of course, if it is a small tomb of the poor, then it is not the pursuit of the so-called closure, it is obvious that the ancient tomb where we are does not exist is poor, as long as there is a coffin burial after the death of the poor is enough, there will be no tomb at all.
As for whether there is a robbery hole leading directly to here, we still don't know, after all, there is no robbery hole found at the moment, but I don't think it should be, because the depth of this place is by no means an ordinary ancient tomb, I don't know how deep our position is now, maybe it must be a hundred meters away, to say the least.
The cold smoke has not been extinguished, but it is already dying, and the brightness is gradually decreasing, and there is no longer the same bright light as before.
Looking at the cold fireworks, I realized why the old prostitute stopped.
I saw that there were several large footprints on the left and right of the cold fireworks, and as the light became smaller and smaller, more inclined to the ground, the outline of the large footprints became clearer.
The three of them walked up to the cold smoke and looked at the footprints on the ground, all of them showing surprised expressions.
