Chapter 9: Half a Human Face

The robbery hole is inclined down, only enough for the width of one person to crawl forward, fortunately, there will be an arch every ten meters in the robbery hole, that is, there is a small area is arched up, which is used to accumulate the soil reserved when the professional digging the robbery hole, and then transport it out together after the soil accumulates into a pile. Once the hole is dug through, this arched area can also be used by people in the tomb to turn around.

These arches in the cave are where the monkey and I can rest for a while, where we can sit up, or even stand up halfway.

Time flies in the tomb tunnel, and at this moment, we have already advanced for about twenty meters, and the cave has been extending diagonally downward, and so far it has not changed direction......

At this time, the monkey suddenly patted my foot behind me and asked, "I said Lao Yang, looking at the trend of this tomb, it seems to be a straight line to the end!" ”

I used my flashlight to look forward again, gasped and replied, "Generally speaking, it is rare to see such a situation, and the common robbery holes are generally 'S' and ' Z' shape, because anyone who fights the robbery hole, even if he is the top master of the inverted bucket, will never be 100% accurate about the location of the catacomb, so when he hits the robbery hole, he will keep changing the direction and moving forward, so that he will not miss any area, like this straight line to the end, unless the person who digs the robbery hole already knows the exact location of the tomb in advance, so he will go straight to the Yellow Dragon in one direction! ”

The monkey coughed and said, "Then according to what you say, the tomb road we enter should lead directly to Luo in the catacombs, so this kind of cave robbery is the most economical!" ”

"Not necessarily!" I paused and continued, "I told you before that in this mountain, there must be an escape passage reserved by the ancestors when they built the catacombs, so if this robbery cave can meet the passage built by the ancestors as soon as possible, it is the most economical way to enter the tomb!" ”

The monkey let out an "oh" when he heard this, as if he understood something, and I was about to continue to tell him about the knowledge of the cave, when suddenly I felt a sudden chill in my head, and the biting cold wind seemed to come more violently.

I looked up and looked forward, and I couldn't help but be stunned, only to see that there was a crack less than a meter in front of me! The crack was about ten centimeters wide, and I could have more than enough to fit my entire fist in, and the whole hole was cut off by the crack here.

At this time, I found that the biting cold wind was blowing up from this ten-centimeter-wide crack, I leaned on my stomach and looked into the crack, and suddenly felt a chill in my back, I found that the range of the crack was extremely wide, not only cut off the robbery hole, but also the entire mountain, which was divided into two in the entire vertical plane, through the light of the flashlight, I could clearly see the fracture marks when the mountain walls on both sides of the fracture were divided.

At the same time, I looked up and looked up along the crack, and the crack became narrower and narrower as it went up, and when it reached the ground, it was just an inconspicuous small slit.

When the monkey saw that I had suddenly stopped here for a long time, he asked, "What's the situation, why don't you keep going?" ”

I immediately explained the situation to the monkey, and climbed over the crack for a few meters in front of the cave, for I saw an arch right in front of me, and I could turn around there and study the origin of the crack with the monkey.

The monkey was also startled when he saw this crack, he gasped and sighed: "Oh my god, how can there be such a big crack, I said, this should not be caused by the earthquake!" ”

I shook my head: "I don't look like it!" Because the entire Yinshan mountain range is not within the scope of the earthquake-prone zone, and from the topography here, the possibility of an earthquake is not very high, in my opinion, this fault may be caused by the automatic subsidence of the mountain. ”

"Automatic sedimentation?" The monkey asked, puzzled, "Will a mountain sink on its own?" ”

"Of course, when the internal force of the mountain is uneven, the heavy end will naturally break and sink." I thought for a moment and then said to the monkey, "So that's good news for us, but think about it, under what circumstances would there be uneven forces inside the mountain?" ”

The monkey shook his head silently, and I continued: "When some part of the interior of the mountain is hollowed out! ”

When the monkey heard this, he was suddenly shocked: "Are you saying that the interior of the mountain was hollowed out to build a tomb, which caused the uneven force to break and sink?" ”

"Yes, because of this, many ancient tombs in the deep mountains and old forests have been buried forever because the mountains sink by themselves!"

The monkey was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "Damn, then according to what you say, is it possible for us to be buried?" ”

I let out a long breath: "It's not very likely! Because this fracture indicates that the mountain has already had a subsidence, generally under the shadow of no external force, the possibility of a second subsidence will be very small, so we don't have to worry about this problem! ”

When the monkey saw that I was right, he complimented me and said, "I can't see that you have also studied geological changes, it seems that I really underestimated you before!" ”

I chuckled, "It's nothing, but it's just a book!" Now the two of us will go to the grave, and we will naturally do our homework in advance! ”

……

After analyzing the cause of the fracture with the monkey, I was even more sure that there must be a large tomb deep underground here, so we didn't want to delay here any longer, and planned to continue along the cave.

……

This time we didn't have to go far to crawl forward, and the thief cave suddenly made a turn in front of us, and continued to slope down in the opposite direction! This was the first time we had changed direction since we went down the cave, and it also led me to conclude that the cave was not a straight line to the end, but an "S" shaped grave road. Although we have only come so far so far, I have probably guessed the trend of the cave thief after that.

We also follow the direction of the thief hole, in the opposite direction continue to slope down and crawl down, if nothing else, not far ahead, we will encounter the 10 cm wide crack again, because the whole "S" shaped thief hole happens to be dug near this fracture, the fracture just from top to bottom to cut off the entire "S" from it, forming a "$" shape, so as the thief hole alternately extends down left and right, we will also see the thief hole cut off by this fracture countless times.

Sure enough, after following the cave and changing direction, we continued to crawl down for about 20 meters, and we really ran into a crack again. And from the crack to the top and bottom of the two directions, you can clearly see the thief hole fracture above that we just stayed, and you can also see the thief hole fracture we are about to arrive at, the vertical distance between the two adjacent thief hole fractures up and down, at most only five meters!

As before, we climbed over the crack and continued to crawl down the hole, and soon after the hole turned in the opposite direction again and continued down (at this point the direction of the hole returned to the direction of the first one), and soon after we hit the crack again.

……

I can't remember how many times we've changed direction, how many times we've hit cracks, we've been crawling headfirst for nearly two hours, and I know that if we don't stop to rest for a while, we'll all fall into a coma from brain congestion.

When we came to the fracture position again, we were going to stop for a meal, but due to habit, every time I came to the fracture, I would lie on my stomach and look into the fracture, because I wanted to see how deep the fracture was, but unfortunately the range of the flashlight was limited, and the fracture was only ten centimeters wide, so I couldn't see the deep position at all, and this time it was the same.

I crawled on my stomach and kept the same position for more than two hours, and at this moment my back hurt and my neck cramped, I was really tired to the extreme, in order to be able to make my body a little more comfortable, I turned over with all my strength, and it was still much more comfortable to lie on the ground like this.

At the moment when I just turned over, suddenly, I saw ...... through the crack Half a human face, I suddenly felt a tingling of my scalp, and at the same time a cold sweat broke out from my back! The reason why I only saw half of the face was because the fracture was only a fist wide of me, and I could only see a pair of eyes and nose on my face, and what was even more terrifying was that those eyes were full of bloodshots, and when I shone it with my flashlight, it looked like blood was oozing down! And at this moment, those bloody eyes exposed by the fierce light are staring at me directly from above through the crack......

Suddenly my mind went blank with fright, but those bloody eyes kept staring at me from above, and for a moment my legs and feet were numb and unresponsive, so I stared at it through the cracks.

"What's wrong, old Yang? How did you...... My whole body is shaking! ”

I swallowed with all my strength: "Up...... ...... above Yes...... Someone! ”

"Huh? Which...... Where are the people? Don't you ...... Don't scare me! ”

"That's it...... It's ...... There! I subconsciously shook my flashlight into the crack, and at the same time, I shouted at the crack in an extremely friendly tone, "Go up...... Friends above, let's ...... We...... Make friends...... Friends! ”
