Chapter 27: The Abyss

No matter how frightened you are in your heart, as long as someone continues to move forward, you have no reason to retreat, and you must go on with your head down, because you have no other choice, once you retreat you will find that it is more terrible than moving forward, and if you are in the tomb, don't look back, turning back will only make you more afraid. This is what the master said to me in an ancient tomb in Sichuan nine years ago.

Although I still don't fully understand what the master said, I know that this is the master's advice, just like me now, and this advice is more appropriate. At this point, I had only the option of moving forward, and there was no turning back, even though I would love to leave.

Walking along the corridor when I came, I walked towards the tomb of the hanging coffin, and I told all the episodes of the hanging coffin tomb when I came, so that everyone could be mentally prepared. As the road was about to come to an end, I unconsciously slowed down and began to be reluctant to walk any further. I've been reluctantly restraining the fear in my heart, and I'm afraid to show it, but the cold sweat on my face completely betrays the fear in my heart.

"Uncle Seven, you sweat so much, is the thing there really so terrible?" An Tong walked beside me, looked at me and asked.

I didn't make any answers, as if I hadn't heard his question. If I don't answer, it's not that I don't want to pay attention to him, but I don't know how to answer. There are so many strange things going on in this tomb that I have to believe that the moving Lord there has the power to settle us.

Sure enough, the door was not closed when we came in, and the first one to walk in was Tianxiang, and I was dragged in until the last one. However, the lord in the hanging coffin did not seem to notice that we were coming, and the hanging coffin still hung quietly in the air.

I don't know if it's because I'm too worried, or if I can't control my fears, and I always feel uneasy in my heart, which makes me want to get out of here as soon as possible. I also had a hard time paying attention to find another exit, and I was always distracted to look up at the hanging coffin above.

Everyone went to find the exit, only I looked up from time to time to look at the hanging coffin, very afraid that the lord would come out, but this unusually quiet hanging coffin, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that my skull was numb, too quiet, as if it was not inside.

Suddenly, a hand was placed on my shoulder, and I was so frightened that I wanted to run out, but someone behind me said, "What are you doing?" "When I looked back, it was Tianxiang behind me. Anger suddenly burned in his heart, and he scolded casually: "You B, do you know how to do it, people are scary, scared to death." "But after all, it is Tianxiang in front of me, I still restrained myself, if it was An Tong, I would definitely be more than just scolding.

"Okay, it's me who is wrong, I just want to know Lu Dao, what are you thinking here?" Tianxiang wasn't angry at me for scolding him.

When I saw that he said this, he didn't blame me, so I went down the steps. "Didn't you notice that this hanging coffin is too quiet? It is as if he could move the Lord, and he was not in it. I said with doubts.

Tianxiang looked at me without speaking, and walked straight to the nearest iron chain that held the hanging coffin in place. Stretched out his hand and shook it a few times, and then the hanging coffin began to move on its own, with the sound of slapping from time to time. Tianxiang pointed to the hanging coffin and looked at me and asked, "Is it safe this time?" ”

I nodded, and Tianxiang then said: "You kid, just be cheap, don't move on the top, let you find the way with peace of mind, if you don't do it, you have to let the top move, you see they are scared." ”

I was scared silly when I saw An Tong and Ma Tianming, and my eyes were staring at the hanging coffin, but I feel a lot more relieved now. Perhaps, I was really too cruel to trade their panic for my peace of mind.

"Don't be afraid, that guy can't get out, you can find your way with peace of mind." I shouted at both of them. Even though I told them they couldn't get out, they were very scared. After all, it was the first time I had encountered such a situation, and the fear was still understandable, and I was not afraid at all now, but began to understand them.

"Xiao Qi, hurry up, you are still familiar with the mechanism." The elder brother said loudly at the far end.

I answered, and immediately began to get busy, first around the surrounding walls, carefully observing, but did not find anything. Then he carefully knocked on the green bricks on the ground, or the sky lived up to his heart, just below the hanging coffin, there was the sound of two big green bricks, there was a hollow feeling. But I can't see the gaps, and it's hard to get out with my hands.

I pulled out my Ugin dagger, went to pry a horn, and pried it up to take a look. Sure enough, the bottom of the green bricks was empty, and I hurriedly told everyone to come here. Pick up the two green bricks, put them aside, and shine down with a searchlight, and another staircase road appears, but this staircase road is very regular.

Tianxiang was the first to go down, this guy is always like this, and the monkey is in a hurry. We had to follow him, the staircase was very short, and after going down six or seven meters, it became a flat and wide road.

This corridor is very different from the one above, this corridor is very wide, with a semi-natural landscape, only the ground and the left wall are made of small green bricks, and the rest of the place is a stone wall, but the polished one is very smooth, but it is very similar to the corridor leading to the main tomb.

The searchlight shines on the left side of the wall in front of me is a little different, I stepped forward to look at the wall in this position carefully, here seems a little uneven, and we came all the way, both sides of this corridor are very smooth, but here is so untidy, I feel strange. As I stood here thinking, they didn't stop, but kept walking, and as the light moved away, I had no choice but to follow suit.

Less than 50 meters further, there was a staircase in front of the road, this staircase was going up, and it was very steep, but it was very wide, and the width was a bit outrageous, and a dozen could walk side by side. The staircase is becoming more and more like the road to the main tomb, and we even have a sense of triumphant joy.

The joy came so early that we even wanted to sing a song to celebrate. Five people walked side by side, all the way to the top of the hill can have dozens of steps, came to a jogging platform, this jogging platform is not very long, only 3 meters away. Then the staircase began to extend from top to bottom, but the searchlight shone down to the bottom, and it was a lot darker, not as bright as before, and the material of the steps was different. When you come up, the steps should be white stones, and the steps below are dark cyan flower stones, which look particularly dark.

I didn't hear who said it, this blue and white stone should be a lot more expensive than the white stone, listening to this sentence and thinking about it, it should be almost to the main tomb, and the main tomb will be arranged around the better. Now a searchlight could no longer illuminate the darkness underneath, so I had to turn on the elder brother's.

In fact, the two searchlights barely looked at the blue and white stone under their feet, and when they shone a little farther away, they could only see the reflection point of the blue and white stone, and the rest of the place was still dark. Everyone had to grope their way down, and the further they went, the more they felt the greater the external airflow, and they could feel the resistance of a kind of airflow.

"Do you feel it, we don't feel like we're going to the Lord's tomb, but like we're going out." Tianxiang asked as he walked.

"There's something not quite right with this air flow, there will definitely not be such a strong air flow in the main tomb." The elder brother continued.

I just wanted to open my mouth to speak, but suddenly I heard Ma Tianming on the side, ah, a sound, the person was gone, and I looked down and saw that there were two hands grasping the steps. Fortunately, this guy was quick and grabbed the steps, otherwise he would have fallen. I was just about to reach out to pull him, but there was another sound in my ears, oops, a sound, I turned my head to see that An Tong was gone, Tianxiang and Senior Brother were each holding a hand on their waists.

"Uncle Seven, pull me up quickly." Ma Tianming shouted below, I came to my senses, squatted down and reached out to pull Ma Tianming, grabbed one of his hands, but I couldn't exert any strength. He was about to raise his feet to change his position, so that he could have multiple fulcrums in his body so that he could pull him up.

The right foot stepped on the next step, and in an instant, the step was empty, and the whole person rolled over on his side, falling down directly, and in a panic, his left hand grabbed the edge of the step. At the moment when I stepped on the air, I flashed it to Ma Tianming, and hurriedly swiped it with my right hand, but fortunately grabbed his clothes.

But in this way, the left hand that grabbed the steps could not bear the weight of two people. It was slowly sliding backwards, and now only four fingers were left on the steps that had been grasped with one hand.

"Uncle Seven, let it go, so that both of us will have to fall." Ma Tianming, who was below, already felt that I couldn't hold it anymore.

"Don't, so much, can your hand grab my leg?" I shouted with great difficulty.

Ma Tianming swayed from side to side and said, "I can get there." ”

"Well, I'll count 1.2.3 in a while, and when I count to 3, I'll let go, and you go grab my leg, I can't hold it with one hand."

Ma Tianming hummed below, and I began to count: "1.2.3." I immediately let go of his right hand, and lifted it up to grab the steps as fast as possible, just when my right hand was just on the steps, Ma Tianming hugged my legs, and the legs sank down, and the left hand instantly couldn't stand up, out of the steps, but fortunately, the right hand grabbed it with force, no matter which link was slow, it was possible to kill both of us.

At this time, An Tong had been pulled up by the two of them, and Senior Brother and Tianxiang hurriedly came over to help us, one of them pulled me by one arm, and dragged me up, and Ma Tianming under him hugged my legs. said that it was dragging me, but in fact, it was like dragging it up, my belly was stuck on the steps and rubbed up, until Ma Tianming could grab the steps, I really climbed up, and then they dragged Ma Tianming up.

After coming up, I lay on the steps, gasping for breath, and then looked at An Tong and Ma Tianming, my head was full of sweat, I guess I was scared enough just now.

The senior brother used a searchlight to shine down, and he could only see the pillar of light, there were no steps, only the darkness around him, and he couldn't see the bottom of the abyss at all.
