Chapter 64: Magical
Hearing Ma Daha say that San'er had gone in by himself, I hurriedly dragged the old prostitute and signaled to him that we had to follow.
As soon as the old prostitute entered the stone gate with me, she didn't leave again, and said, "My day, just go in like this?"
When I saw the old prostitute's angry expression, I really wanted to slap him. The heart said, you can get the fuck off the donkey from the slope, and what are you pretending to be here, you can't let me get San'er back, apologize to you.
"What do you want, old prostitute? Some things have to be passed and forgotten, don't go on endlessly. ”
"Damn, when am I going to be endless? Am I that calculating? I mean, these corpses, these people died bizarrely, and they blindly went in before they figured it out, isn't that asking for hardship?"
As soon as I heard what the old prostitute said, I realized that I was wrong with this guy, I actually thought about things wrong, and mistakenly thought that he still wanted to find fault, but I didn't expect the old prostitute to think about these dried corpses.
I glanced at the dried corpses around me, it was indeed bizarre and strange, and the death was very strange, but judging from the situation in front of me, I couldn't figure out how these people died. If we really have to figure it out before we go in, I'm afraid we won't be able to figure it out in a few days, and we may not figure it out by then, and the little wolf is already hanging inside.
"Forget it, don't think about these things first, there are too many things that are not clear in ancient and modern China and abroad, we can't always worry about one thing here, it's important to save people, let's think about whether the little wolf is alive or dead in it." As I spoke, I pushed the old prostitute and walked forward.
"Xiao Qi, I think it's better to figure out this matter, we don't know anything here, and we may hang up if we encounter any bizarre things, but if we know in advance what terrible things are inside, we can at least make preparations in advance to prevent trouble."
"You should be here to rob the tomb, and you don't know what will be in it until you enter the tomb, so you don't need to take precautions, just rely on the scene." I said.
Although I understood that what the old prostitute said was very reasonable, I still had to push him forward. Because I know that we can't delay here, San'er has already walked a long way in, and if we delay for a few more minutes, we may be separated from him, and I don't want to lose my guide as soon as I enter.
Although San'er repeatedly emphasized that he had never come in, he was a member of the Murong family after all, and he knew more about this ancient city and the Murong family than we did, so we needed him here.
At first, the old prostitute was very reluctant to be pushed by me, but after walking a few steps, she was relieved and no longer twisted and pinched. However, he reminded me a few more words and asked me to pay more attention to San'er. He said that he didn't believe San'er, and there was always a feeling that San'er understood this place, but he just didn't want to sue us.
I didn't pay much attention to the old prostitute's reminders, and if he had reminded me of these things, I would have listened to him. But not now, after all, this guy is angry now, and he is more energetic than San'er in his heart, and he has some grudges against San'er when he arrested him, so he is now dissatisfied with San'er, and when he has doubts, I will think that he has a tendentious subjective consciousness.
I walked all the way along the passage, and I walked a distance of less than 200 meters before I caught up with San'er. In fact, it can't be said that we caught up, it was San'er who was waiting for us here. Of course, he is waiting for us here because of geographical conditions, otherwise he would not be standing here.
The passage has come to an end here, and what appears in front of us is a cliff 30 meters away, and we are also a cliff at the entrance of the passage, and there is no connection between the two cliffs. The flashlight can shine on the opposite cliff, there is no passage there, and it is full of steep stone walls, which looks particularly spectacular.
I knelt on the edge of the passage and looked downward, below which was a bottomless cliff, and I could only see a pillar of light in the darkness by the flashlight, and nothing else. However, there are a lot of angle iron shelves built under the passage entrance, and it is obvious that it is built from here to the bottom of the cliff, and it seems that this should be regarded as a downward road.
The old prostitute squatted down and tried the angle iron frame built on the cliff with her hands, and it was fixed very firmly, which should be able to withstand our climbing.
"Xiao Qi, come and see here." The old prostitute held the angle iron frame with one hand and pointed to a place for me to see.
I looked in the direction of his finger and thought it would be something unusual, but it turned out to be the screw that fixed the angle iron. After a closer look, I realized that it was the kind of screw we saw in the backpack when we came in.
"Now I know what those screws are for." I continued, "The people who died at the entrance must have come in to repair these iron shelves. They removed the bent screws and replaced them with new ones to ensure the safety of the angle iron shelves here, which seemed to be an important passage for them to enter. ”
"Important passages?" Ma Daha didn't seem to understand what I meant, and asked, "Uncle Seven, how do you see that this is an important passage?"
"Quite simply, these angle iron shelves have proven it. If I'm not mistaken, the angle iron frame here must have been built within the last 30 years, and before the angle iron frame, there should have been a wooden frame or a frame made of other things. ”
When I spoke, I kept paying attention to the old prostitute's expression, I was afraid that this guy would be impulsive and would do something out of line with San'er, so I kept looking at him.
Although the old prostitute didn't look at me, I could see the change in the expression on his face clearly. This guy's expression is extremely solemn, and his brows are tightly knit, this expression is not brought by anger, but more like thinking.
"What's the matter, old prostitute?" I asked.
"It's nothing, I just think of those dried corpses, they came to repair the iron shelves here, but they didn't die here, but died at the entrance of the passage, isn't it too strange."
I haven't had time to think about this question that the old prostitute said, but I don't want to think about it, after all, there are many things in this world that can't be explained, and if you have to figure it out, you won't have to be tired to death.
In fact, it is not too complicated to figure out why those dried corpses died there, you just need to recreate the scene, let the scene that happened twenty years ago be repeated, and all the puzzles will be solved naturally. But who wants another tragedy? At least I didn't want to, let alone touch what those people did, because I could already imagine the horror of what they were before they died.
Thinking of this, I suddenly wanted to slap myself, and I secretly regretted it in my heart, I thought what I was doing here, and I didn't have a face at all. According to past experience, I always come to whatever comes to mind, of course, such accurate things are only limited to bad things, and good things have not worked once.
"Is there anything else you want to explore? If not, go down. ”
San'er looked at me after speaking, I said no, and then San'er took the lead in holding the angle iron frame and began to climb down.
After San'er went down, the old prostitute was not to be outdone, like a competition, and jumped in front of San'er in three or two clicks. Then there was Scar, I thought he would be a little slower, but I didn't expect that he could climb the shelf as fast as the old prostitute.
Ma Daha began to have a headache when he saw this situation, I still know a little about this nephew, at least I know that he is a little afraid of heights, which has been reflected in the tomb of Wei Haiqi, so I am still a little worried about him.
But the current situation is that there is no other way except this road, even if you are afraid of heights, you have to bite the bullet.
Forced into desperation, I had no choice but to use my ability to speak well and began to make a small fool of Ma Daha. first praised him, saying that he has been good recently, and his ability is good, no less than his master, and then it was a divine praise, saying that he not only made progress by himself, but also brought newcomers, and saw that he could go on independently with the scar, and I also promised him that after he had experienced a period of time, I would let him open a master and accept apprentices.
Purposeful praise can really make people's heads hot, and when vanity is satisfied, it will make people inflate themselves, and sometimes imagine themselves to be extremely important and omnipotent. After listening to what I said, it really worked, not only did he not be afraid, but he also volunteered to let him come first, and I broke off.
But once this expansion meets reality, it will change back to its original shape. As soon as Ma Daha went down, he began to tremble, but fortunately, I have been by his side to encourage him, and I have been telling him, you can do it, you will soon be the person who wants to be a master, and you can't be embarrassed in front of the layman Scar. Ma Daha can be regarded as fighting, although he was scared, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
To be honest, in fact, when I just went down, I was also a little scared, after all, there is no bottom below, once there is a mistake in the hands and feet, it is very likely to fall, the consequences can be imagined, I will die, and if I don't do it, I have to fall out of my brain, spray it high in the air, and then fall to the ground to form a tragic word.
The angle iron shelves that climb down are fixed to the cliffs, and the construction method is somewhat similar to the safety shelves of the construction site, but here it is more complicated than the construction site. It wasn't too high to climb down, and I realized that my guess was right, there were many holes in the cliff with wooden stakes, which should have been used to build wooden shelves.
I took a closer look at the cliffs here, they are not artificially excavated, they are made naturally, and the external stones are very smooth, and even the scratches are very few, so I can be sure that this is a hollow mountain made of pure nature.
Looking at this hollow mountain from where I am now is completely different from the feeling of being at the mouth of the passage. At the entrance of the passage, it is just a very ordinary hollow mountain, but here it has a feeling of ghostly workmanship, not only spectacular, but also looks very mysterious, there is an indescribable sense of mystery.
After climbing down for six or seven minutes, Ma Dahar and I went down to where the old prostitute was. At first, I thought they were tired, so I stopped, but when I looked at the posture of the three of them and the direction of the flashlight, I realized that they were not tired.
