Chapter 163: The Beginning and the End

We looked at each other speechlessly, for I myself had discovered the footprints because I had heard a strange sound.

When I told him about my own affairs, the other party suddenly paused, looked at the stone wall fixedly, and continued, "I thought it was impossible at first, so I went to the neighborhood to look for it, but the more I walked nearby, the more I found that the stone cave here is very huge. I remember the place here, on Li Sansi's drawings, I saw this place, but after all, it is on the drawings, and the size and purpose are not clearly marked. ”

"On the drawing, this stone cave is marked with a special mark, I remember that when I saw this, Li Sansi repeated its name many times, and also told everyone that they must go in to worship there."

I listened to the meaning of his words, and seemed to be quite jealous of this place, but when I think about it, there are many peculiarities about that place.

When he spoke, I didn't interject, just listened to him continue, "I didn't understand the special thing about this place until I came here, but soon I realized that the special thing about this place may also be related to your disappearance, but I can't be sure, so I took a picture along the stone wall, but I didn't find you until I ......"

When he said this, I couldn't hold back and asked, "Didn't you find any other doors there?" ”

The other party was slightly stunned, but immediately understood, and asked instead, "Do you see the door, and the door that leads to other places?" ”

I nodded, and after talking to him about my findings, I continued, "I really didn't find the door you said at that time, but I saw another door opened, and that was the door before we came. ”

"After seeing it, I thought you might have gone out, I didn't know why, but after weighing it up, I followed, but when I walked briskly to the door, I didn't find anything, it was empty outside."

I've seen the same scene as him, so I naturally understand how he feels, but unlike me, he came back soon and made another decision in the direction of looking for me.

He couldn't even tell why, but he had searched everywhere and there was no shadow of me everywhere he could see, so his decision was a logical one.

"I followed the string of white footprints to the stone wall, and finally passed through the crack above, and came here in a trance, and found those skeletons."

After listening to his words, I couldn't help but hope that he could be sure if I had seen those white footprints in front of the stone wall before.

The other party was sure that there was absolutely no before, and firmly believed that it was because of my disappearance that those white footprints appeared.

I was helpless about it, because I couldn't believe anything, and as soon as I came in, I was attracted to the murals, and when I came back to my senses, I saw the masked man mitting something in front of the stone wall, and when he was sure that the white footprints appeared, I was completely unsure whether the footprints were there before.

In this regard, I can only choose to believe his statement, but what is the matter with my disappearance, I am there, why can't he see me?

Also, I think the most crucial and most useful discovery was the extra door that I found, which I opened.

Can the timeline be clearly divided because of this?

I tried to convince myself to stop thinking about anything else and to build everything that happened on my own, even if it might sound ridiculous.

We may not see each other because of that huge space, and because I opened the extra door, which caused the white footprints to appear.

The Masked Man said that he didn't find the door, what he saw was that the door was opened before we came, and then I seemed to see the door open as well.

That's why I suspect that the Masked Man may have left, but in that case, he will definitely call me. Because he was leaving, he wanted to enter the main burial chamber, and he didn't find me, so he chose to follow the white footprints, but that was also to find me.

In fact, there is an order for this purpose, he should find me first before leaving, but after looking here, he didn't find me, so he chose to go in another direction.

He probably knew that it was impossible for me to leave alone, so he decided that I must still be here, and so far, the most likely clue to find me was the white footprints.

Maybe he'll be calling my name as he crosses the rock wall, or maybe he'll be looking for a sign I'll leave to show him the way out.

But after searching, he was disappointed to find that there was no trace of me at all, and no one else had been here except for the skeletons.

Excluding speculation about those skeletons, he must have thought that he might have inadvertently fallen into some kind of trap, and those strange footprints became the trigger.

But when I look back, I don't know where I came from, and I'm afraid it's hard to go back, but I can't be with those skeletons?

In the end, I went to look for another way out, but I knew that if I wasn't here, I would probably still be in the cave, but I just didn't find it.

Perhaps the same thing would have happened to me, so according to his thoughts, it was possible for me to come down with him, and then he left a mark on the stone wall and led me all the way here, hoping to meet here.

However, I hesitated to ask about the findings on the bones, and perhaps if I continued to ask questions, more questions would be asked.

This is not a dead end, and those skeletons can't be desperate because they are trapped here, if they have observed those skeletons, the masked man will understand, so he did not give up and went to other places to find an exit.

Those skeletons have no chance to leave and retreat, but if they can come here, there must be a way to leave, otherwise how would they be here.

But when he got to the fork, he didn't know where to go, so he chose to go to one of them first, trying to find out where the exit was.

The result was a surprise to him, but luckily he ran into me when he ran out.

We walked in this narrow stone cave, waving our flashlights from time to time, looking into the darkness ahead, not knowing where it would lead.

I asked the masked man who was chasing him so much that he was so scared, but the other party only gave me a few perfunctory words, urging me to leave this place quickly and find another way, now Li Sansi They must have found the main burial chamber, and we must meet him as soon as possible.

The main burial chamber? I recalled, but I was confused about the road in front of me, and I felt that if I was going against the place I was going.

However, we really don't have time to wait, and it's not too early to calculate the time to come in, but I'm afraid that someone has already come in.

Following the masked man, I quickened my pace and ran forward, finally finding the exit after a few minutes.

But when he saw the exit, the masked man's face sank, because in front of us was another fork.

I glanced at him, hesitated a little, and finally said let's continue on the intersection we chose.

This is different from the above, as long as we keep walking in one direction, we can always get out.

I didn't have any good ideas, so I had to listen to him, but when I left the cave, I was still a little uneasy.

Because this scene is too familiar, but after thinking about it, I feel that it is wrong, because this passage cannot be like the places above, it is a trap, but a thief hole dug artificially, why does it have a fork?

Could it be that these people have nothing to do, so they are digging holes everywhere in one fell swoop, like Li Sansi, to determine the location of the main tomb from the inside?

I don't think it's possible for them to do what Li Sansi did, because they dare to dig out these secret passages under the nose of the patriarch, and they will definitely not know anything about the clan tomb, and even if they can, they shouldn't use such a clumsy method.

Because they need to dig secretly, so in terms of time, there are all kinds of restrictions, and we have walked all the way, and we have not found anything special here, since it is excavated by hand, there will be more or less some things left.

For example, when they come in, they always need to bring some food or something, and the digging tools and other things can always leave some traces.

Although this dark hole may have existed for too long, those things cannot be ruled out by oxidation.

As I walked, I was thinking about all kinds of questions in my heart, what would the person who betrayed them do?

Before I knew it, I came to the end again, and when I saw the entrance of the cave, I subconsciously thought that it might be another fork, but what came into my eyes was different.

The space suddenly opened up, and I saw another enlarged stone cave, which continued to stretch forward, and we followed the short hole back to where the skeletons had come from.

It's a big space, and at first glance, it looks like an air-raid shelter, with large pieces of stone piled up all around, piecing together different stone walls.

His gaze moved to the stone walls of the ravines, and along the edges and corners of the stones, he looked overhead, where a dark hole appeared.

Under the light, the hole was like a window blown open by the wind, and from it came the wind in the darkness.

I turned my head to the masked man and asked, "What should I do, keep going, or ......"

Halfway through his words, he listened to the mask man's decisive reply, "Let's go look elsewhere first and determine the location of this place." ”

It seemed that after what had happened before, even he became more cautious, but I had just walked a few steps out when he immediately stopped me.
