Chapter 43: The Exit from the Cave
"Human? What do you mean? Xu Man asked me.
"Grandpa Sun and I both suspect that the location of that corner is the exit leading to the outside of the cave?"
"Really!" Xu Man was very happy.
"And we've found one thing!" I showed the piece of white jade to Xu Man.
"It's beautiful!" Xu Man took the white jade in his hand and sighed.
"Well, I think it's beautiful too!"
"If it is made into a necklace pendant, it must look good!"
Seeing Xu Man's liking appearance, I was moved with compassion, if I didn't know what this thing was for, I would have wanted to give it to her.
At this time, the camping lantern was even darker, almost extinguished, "Time is running out!" Grandpa Sun said to me.
I know what he means, if the lights go out, it will be inconvenient for him to not see, and the urgency of the delay now is to crack the exit.
"Do you want to come with us?" I asked Xu Man.
Xu Man shook his head and said, "I'm still here to accompany Zhang Yu." β
I took the white jade and walked to the position of Youjiao with Grandpa Sun, knocking everywhere, trying to find the location of the mechanism, and sure enough, I heard "dong" and "dong" at the position of the ground.
After opening a floor tile, I found that there were two grooves underneath, one rectangular and the other triangular, the rectangular one was shallower and the triangular one was deeper.
Both grooves are fixed to two circular movable stone slabs.
"Looks like that's the key!"
I put the white jade on the triangular groove, the size is just right, I can't be excited, but what should be put in that rectangular groove?
"Is there something else in that brocade box?" Grandpa Sun asked me.
Yes, maybe we only see one thing, but what about the other?
I hurriedly took the brocade box and found that the position where I put the jade just now was very shallow, and it was not as deep as the height of the entire brocade box.
"Maybe there's a mezzanine in there!" Grandpa Sun said to me.
Well, I gently opened the yellow satin inside the brocade box, and sure enough, I found the mezzanine, and inside was a small brocade bag.
"Open it and see if it's the rectangular key in there?" Grandpa Sun was also excited this time.
I was a little disappointed that it was soft and made of fine satin, and it didn't look like something hard inside.
Disappointment is disappointment, or to open the bag to see, there is a cloth inside, and it is full of words,
"Evil demons are in charge, ghosts and ghosts, troubled times are rampant, Kyushu is tired and dangerous.
I have a great responsibility, a short life and a thin blessing, different laws inside and outside, and a great responsibility for the five elements. β
"What do you mean, my ancient text is really not good!" I asked Grandpa Sun with the note.
Grandpa Sun gave me a blank look, "You can't understand as a college student, what else can I understand?" β
"Why don't I show it to Xu Man?" I said to Grandpa Sun.
"I advise you to keep it for yourself!"
"Why?"
"Why do you show everything to that woman?"
"She, she is studying Chinese medicine, and the ancient text is good!"
"I'm telling you, if you have to pay attention to it, you still don't know if she's a good person or a bad person!"
"How can such an infatuated woman be a bad person?"
"You men!" Grandpa Sun patted me on the shoulder!
"Hehe, you're not a man." I said with a smile.
"Of course I'm not, I'm a boy!" Grandpa Sun said mischievously.
Alas! He seemed to be back to the way I had when I first saw him, as relaxed as a little boy of sixteen or seventeen.
"Forget it, we still have business, so don't tease each other here!"
"Yes, yes, we have to find the rectangular key!"
Again, we looked at the rectangular groove, shallow, as thin as a sheet of iron.
By the way, although we don't have any iron pieces in our hands, we do have bronze medals!
The bronze medal is now in Xu Man's hand, and I have to ask her for it.
"Go ahead!" Grandpa Sun said to me, "You keep the cloth in that brocade box, don't show it to her." β
"yes, I know." Although I have a good impression of this Xu Man, I know a truth very well, and it is right to listen to Grandpa Sun.
I took the bronze medal back, and it was placed in the right position of the groove, and the white jade and the bronze medal fit very well, it was simply seamless.
"Tsk! The craftsmanship of the ancients is really amazing! I sighed.
"What is this? The plain yarn shirt unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb is made of silk, the silk thread of plain yarn is extremely fine, and the weight is less than one or two, and it is said that it can be folded up and put into a matchbox. That's what it's called 'thin as cicada's wings' and 'light as smoke'! β
"Yo, Grandpa Sun, isn't your ancient text very good? Why are you still humble with me here? β
"Haha, didn't you notice? I know that it's all about the knowledge of the tomb, which is required by the profession! β
Grandpa Sun was really happy like a child when he heard my compliment, but he was right, whether it was Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng who introduced me last time, or whether it was a plain yarn shirt mentioned this time, it really has something to do with the ancient tomb!
"Alright, don't talk nonsense, the key is also on, quickly flick the two cobblestones and see if you can open the exit."
"Hmm!"
I first worked with both hands, figuring out the cobblestone on the left and then on the right, but no matter how hard I tried, neither cobblestone moved.
"Or? Gotta work together? "Grandpa Sun reminded me.
"Huh! Reasonable! β
I put my left hand on the cobblestone on the left and my right hand on the cobblestone on the right, and the two hands worked together, and something unexpected happened.
The stone walls on either side of the horn slowly opened, about the width of a man to a halt.
"Exit, exit!" I jumped with excitement.
I suddenly understood the meaning of the fourth sentence, "The willows and flowers are one", isn't this the position that refers to! No matter what happens, everyone is working together to figure out a way, isn't this the role of "people"!
Therefore, the ancients are really awesome, the time, the place, the people, and only when they get together can they do great things, it is really not an empty word.
I happily ran to Xu Man's side and said to her, "I've found an exit!" β
Xu Man also excitedly ran to the position where the stone wall door was opened, and stretched his small body inside, "A man, you are too powerful!" She hugged me excitedly.
What I didn't expect was that she fell to the ground all of a sudden, "sigh".
"What's wrong?" I quickly helped her up.
"What's in your chest? Scald me! Xu Man pointed to my chest and said.
Alas! It's this piece of blood jade again, as soon as a woman approaches my body, it reacts, and I am a little angry, will I have to abstain from sex in the future.
"No, nothing?" I glanced at Xu Man, who was still holding her chest there, and it seemed that the pain was not light.
Grandpa Sun went over to check Zhang Yu's pulse and said to Xu Man, "Although this guy is fine, his breath has not completely eased up, and it is estimated that he will have to sleep for two hours, or," he glanced at me, "You carry him on your back?" β
At the mention of carrying people, I suddenly remembered Qian Da Niu's 200 strong body, although this Zhang Yu is not tall, but his figure is like a tank! Besides, I don't know how far I have to walk to get out of this exit, and if I have to walk a few kilometers, I won't be exhausted!
"I don't want it!" I said.
"That's it, Zhang Yu didn't wake up anyway, you go out first, if you can go out, come back and sue me, I'll wait for you here." Xu Man said.
"Okay, then you stay safe!"
After Grandpa Sun and I went out of the cave, it was a long road, about half an hour of walking, to the exit of the road.
A ray of sunlight shone through, and I found myself standing on the mountainside of Mt. Lizi, but on the other side of it, and I breathed a sigh of relief, as if I had experienced a rebirth.
"See the town down there? That's Rohmon Town! When you get to Rohmon Town, you canβ" Grandpa Sun seemed to remember something, "yes, what about that skull!" β
I've just realized this problem, I've been working in the cave just now and forgot about it, I'm in a bit of a trance, I remember before I went into the cave, even when I was dodging moths, this black package was always on my back, probably because there were too many things happening in the cave, maybe I couldn't tell where I put it!
"I'll go back and look for it now, and I have to take Xu Man out anyway!"
Just when I returned, unexpectedly something happened, Xu Man was actually gone.
