Chapter 21: Medium Scheme
Tianxiang and I leaned together, staring at the Xuanwu coffin, but we didn't make any more sounds.
"Damn, it won't be, I'm scared of myself again." Tianxiang said with great doubts.
"No, if you brought out the white cloth, what about the miserable woman's cry." I said with an anxious face.
"I think it's better for you to go on this, maybe it's your favorite C cup." As he spoke, he pushed me hard, and I was already much calmer, but when he pushed me like this, I was scared and panicked.
Hurriedly ran back and hid behind Tianxiang, he picked up the wax table next to him, thinking that this guy could walk over, but he didn't expect that he skimmed the wax table with a bang, and heard the sound of the wax table smashing into the coffin very clearly, clang, it sounded as if there was nothing in it.
Tianxiang ran to the side of the Xuanwu coffin in a few quick steps, took a look at it, and took out a white cloth inside, and a bamboo pipe, I saw that there was nothing to do, and followed, there was nothing inside, Tianxiang picked up the bamboo pipe and blew it, and the sound that came out was really realistic, it was simply a real female ghost's miserable cry.
"This is a good thing, I have to keep it, go out and study it." As he spoke, he picked up the bamboo pipe.
I looked at the bottom of the coffin, but I didn't find the mechanism, Tianxiang said on the side: "It seems that my analysis is wrong, the mechanism is not in the north." As he spoke, he slammed his fist into the coffin grumblingly.
He smashed it hard, and the coffin was smashed up, and Tianxiang looked at the upturned part and said, "There is a hole at the bottom." "I stretched out my head and saw that there was indeed a secret passage, but this time I behaved more simply and walked directly down the hole.
This staircase, has been extending to the bottom, but how to look at how it feels wrong, the staircase stone under the foot is cut by the mountain, many places are different in size, length and width, the more you go forward, the more you mutter, Tianxiang followed behind and didn't feel anything wrong.
Walking up the stairs step by step, I felt a little uneasy. There are still a lot of doubts in my heart, thinking: according to the specifications of this tomb, such an unbearable staircase should not be built, and how can there be a front room and the main tomb so connected, usually the front room and the main tomb should be connected by a large stone door or a very wide underground passage, it will not be so, and several question marks were drawn in my heart for a while.
While I was still thinking, the staircase path was finished, and a straight path appeared in front of me. The left and right sides are much narrower than when they came down just now, and can only accommodate one person to walk, but this path is like a natural formation, and both sides are full of mountains.
How do you look at it and how it feels familiar, but I can't remember for a while, where I have seen it, I continued to walk a few steps forward, and I saw this stone in front of me, which is very familiar. Suddenly, thinking of something, I turned back to Tianxiang and shouted, "It's not good, go back." ”
When Tianxiang saw me shouting, he turned his head and ran, and didn't ask me what happened. I followed and ran up the stairs for a while, and I called out to him, "Don't run, I'll rest, I can't catch up with you." ”
"What did you just see? So excited. Tianxiang panted and walked over and said.
"Don't you see? Where does the road we just took lead? ”
"You look at the road ahead, where do I go, I know where the road leads." Tianxiang said confidently.
"The road we walked just now, what we walked was the path leading to the void shield space, moving forward, I'm afraid that the mountain is closing, the path is gone, and we really can't come back." After taking two breaths, he said to Tianxiang, "Damn, we have been tricked." The direction of the spirit beast coffin in the tomb is definitely wrong, it is to guide us into the void shield space. ”
After listening to me, Tianxiang asked with a very confused expression: "What should I do now?" ”
"Go back." I replied firmly.
After a break, we continued to walk up, walking for about 20 minutes, Tianxiang turned around and asked me, "We didn't go wrong, right?" ”
I shook my head and replied, "No, isn't this going all the way up?" ”
"When I came, I went down in 10 minutes, and I saw that road, but the section we ran just now doesn't count, just count the section we walked, and we walked for more than 20 minutes, so I should have arrived early." Tianxiang looked at me very suspiciously.
He didn't say it, I really didn't notice it, I just wanted to go up quickly, and I didn't think about the time. Are we really on the wrong track? Some doubts began to arise in my mind, too. Said to Tianxiang: "Let's go forward, if we don't walk for another 5 minutes, then let's go down, it may really be a fork in the road." ”
Then we walked up for another 5 minutes, still did not see the entrance of the cave, at this time, the light of the searchlight has become dimmer and dimmer, and the power is about to run out, we followed the road again, walked down, but this time we walked for more than half an hour, but we have not yet reached the end.
I had a bad premonition in my heart, and I began to fear this premonition, afraid that it would become a reality, and I didn't dare to think about it anymore, and the hairs on my body stood on end.
Tianxiang was shocked on the side and said, "What's the matter, this road can't be finished." ”
Listening to Tianxiang's words, I frowned, looked at the walls on both sides, and looked at the stairs under my feet, it was the way we walked, why couldn't we go to the end. I left two particularly obvious marks on the walls on both sides, Tianxiang understood what I meant when he saw it, and continued to walk down, every few tens of meters, I would leave marks on both sides.
After walking for more than 20 minutes, I suddenly stood on my feet and broke out in a cold sweat all over my body. Tianxiang looked at my face and was also dazed. He asked, "Are we?" and walked back again. ”
I nodded, didn't speak, just stared at the mark I had left behind, and what I feared had finally happened.
"Did we just turn the corner?" I always thought we were on a straight path, but I didn't want to believe in myself anymore, and I couldn't believe it was true.
"yes, it's straight, it's not bent at all." Tianxiang replied in the affirmative.
Although this answer is not what I want, it is true, and I must admit that it is not the danger of the past, but a killer who has been exhausted.
Looking at the faint light source, it was time for us to grasp the time, and I decided to go again, first, to make sure there were no forks in the road, and second, to see if we were taking a straight road.
Following the dim light, we walked quickly forward, and soon returned to this place. This time, we both accepted the facts with certainty, there was no trace of a fork in the road, and we took a straight road.
I can understand that there is no fork in the road, but this is a staircase that goes straight up and down, and there is no detour, so how can I walk back. This doesn't make sense in any way. I told Tianxiang my doubts and hoped that he could help me find out the answers.
"You see, when we think we're going down, we're going up, and when we think we're going up, we're going down."
I made Tianxiang laugh and cry when I asked him to answer like this, I looked at him and said, "You take two steps up, I'll take a look." ”
Tianxiang really took two steps up, and I asked again: "Did you go up or down by yourself just now?" ”
Without thinking, the guy replied, "You're stupid, isn't this just going up?" After saying that, he came to his senses and continued, "My point just now is wrong, but is there anything else that can be explained besides that explanation?" ”
I shook my head, my mouth kept gnawing my thumb, and my heart was constantly trying to figure out the mystery, there were no detours, no forks in the road, how could we cycle between up and down.
I suddenly thought of a question and asked Tianxiang, "How did we get up this staircase?" ”
"You're stupid, you ran up."
"Yes, we must have run into this circular staircase in a hurry, that is to say, there should be another staircase near here, which is the one we originally walked, it must be like this."
Tianxiang was confused by what I said, and asked me again and again: "Can you say it simply?" I was confused, what must be like this. ”
"Don't ask, do what I do, let's go down against the left wall of the stairs first." I pulled Tianxiang and walked down the corner. It took a lot of time to walk slowly against the corner, but we were disappointed in the end, and we walked back to the marked place just now.
I asked Tianxiang to follow me from the corner on the right, but this guy just wouldn't leave, and he didn't leave until I explained it clearly. I told him about it, just now I ran to this circular staircase in a hurry, but the premise of being able to run in is that this circular staircase must have a connection point with the outer staircase, and this connection point cannot overlap with the original staircase, so the only reasonable explanation is that the connection point of the circular staircase is to connect the outer staircase at the edge of a certain point.
Tianxiang still didn't understand much, but before he could react, I pulled him and continued to walk down to the corner on the right side of the wall.
As I expected, there was a stone strip of staircase that connected to the outer staircase, and there were overlapping protrusions on the wall, so it was impossible to find it on the wall.
Finally returned to the original staircase, Tianxiang also showed a happy face, raised his big mother finger and said, "Xiao Qi, you really have a set." I smirked on the sidelines.
At this time, the searchlight has completely run out of power, and we can only rely on the occasional flash source of lighter lighting, and we simply go forward in the dark, after all, we have just walked this road, and we still have an impression in our minds.
This time I quickly walked to the Xuanwu coffin, I was ready to climb up with a small sense of accomplishment in my heart, Tianxiang suddenly touched me behind me, as soon as I turned around, Tianxiang immediately covered my mouth with his hand, covered it, I realized, Tianxiang must have sensed something wrong.
Tianxiang pulled me, slowly walked more than 10 steps to the bottom of the road, squatted on the ground and whispered to me: "Don't go up yet, there may be something up there." ”
I also lowered my voice and asked, "How do you know the Tao?" ”
"You saw it just now, it's dark up there, and when we came down just now, there should have at least one wax table lit."
I listened to Tianxiang say this, and I was shocked, there should indeed be one, could it be that I met a ghost blowing out the lamp, thinking that my whole body was numb. But what I thought more in my heart was that if the Lord in the hanging coffin came out, it would be even more troublesome. At that time, I was in a hurry, and I didn't pay attention to whether the stone gate was closed, and I began to panic a little in my heart.
