Chapter 20: The Fork in the Road
I couldn't help the churning in my stomach, and I saw that the head was dripping around with the flower path, and I found that the skin of the whole head was only slightly ulcerated, I don't know how long the flower has been blooming here, and how long the human head has been placed, it is not easy to keep it so intact, but the appearance is not clear, but if you count according to the fact that there is a human head attached to the bottom of each black mandala, then there are thousands of human heads here, and we are standing on the floor full of human heads at the moment.

"What should we do, left and right, do we still want to keep going? Otherwise, let's go out", I couldn't help but swallow and spit, I really didn't want to die here, so I could only hope that there would be some countermeasures left and right.
Glancing around, he pointed to the place where he had collapsed just now and said, "There's a hole there, there's a road underneath, and it's up to you if you can't go down."
I looked in the direction of my left and right fingers, and it was a big hole at best, and all the dirt around the hole was still accumulating downward, and it was estimated that we would either be buried by the sliding soil or suffocate ourselves in this big pit.
The second uncle is also convulsive, at this time I have to listen to the words of the left and right to go down to the cave to see, and the fat man has not tasted any sweetness for the time being, he was eager to try to get into this hole to find out, and when he heard that the second uncle also agreed, his heart was more alive. And the beauty and the second Zhuang themselves listened to the words of the second uncle, and when they heard the second uncle say this, they also nodded hurriedly, it seems that it is like being on a hanging coffin, and I am the only one who opposes here.
According to this situation, it seems that the cave can't escape, anyway, Lao Tzu was born unlucky, so I pinned a gun on the waistband of my pants early, in case I encountered any accidents in advance. I took a full breath, closed my eyes, and plunged into the pit with the falling soil, but I didn't expect it to be quite spacious underneath, with smooth stone walls on all sides, only a small pool under the east corner of the stone wall, "Come down, there's a burial chamber down here" Erzhuang shouted.
The fat man is big, and the hole is small, so he finally squeezed in, just sat on the ground and gasped, and then the second uncle decided that our group would rest and rectify here first, and it was only a few days after going to the tomb, and the things were almost consumed, and for the time being, I couldn't contact the guys waiting above, and I didn't know where I was now, I only knew that I was getting deeper and deeper into the interior of the mountain, and the second uncle speculated that there must be something we needed to find behind the entrance of the so-called god to the world, so he continued to go down.
But left and right suddenly noticed the pool on the east side, the pool water was gurgling upward, I also followed, I wanted to ask the left and right if I found something important, I just walked behind the left and right, left and right suddenly turned back to me and said, "Yiqi, I know how to get out"
As soon as I heard that I could finally go out, I almost jumped up for joy and hurriedly asked, "Really?" Then how are we going to get out, didn't you say you wanted to get something life-saving, so you won't take it? ”
"You go out first, I'll get it," he replied silently.
"Is that okay? What about the second uncle, what should I do? They won't go out," I said, glancing at the second uncle, who was resting against the stone wall with their eyes closed.
"I have my own way, you go and take a rest, and then I'll send you out" left and right said to me seriously, I don't know what left and right are thinking, but he has always said the same thing, and he will definitely be able to do it if he says it, so I didn't think much about it, so I walked towards the place where the second uncle and they were sitting and prepared to take a break, thinking, damn, Lao Tzu can finally go out to bask in the sun, don't worry about it anymore, I feel very happy when I think about it.
Time passed quickly, in the middle of the night, I was sleeping in a daze, suddenly felt cool under me, I suddenly opened my eyes, lying down, I saw the whole burial chamber is constantly leaking upward, when I stand up the water has not reached the ankle, and I see that the east pool is still overflowing up and down, at this rate, the sealed burial chamber around it will be flooded for a while.
"Left and right, it's not good, it's a big flood" I subconsciously shouted the names of the left and right, but the left and right were long gone at this time, but this shout woke up the second uncle and the fat man, they saw that the tomb began to enter the water, and quickly packed up the things on the ground, thinking about what to do next while cleaning up.
"Second uncle, the left and right are gone," Er Zhuang whispered in the second uncle's ear, "Then what should we do next?" "Although Er Zhuang said quietly, I still heard it, but I said that I have no other advantages from being a child, but my father often says that my ears are very sharp, even if Er Zhuang's voice is low, I can hear it clearly. But then the second uncle pulled Er Zhuang to the side of the pool, and also turned his head and muttered in Er Zhuang's ear, but because this sentence was too quiet, and the pool in the tomb was full of the sound of running water, I only heard the second uncle chanting my name once.
I pretended not to hear anything, walked directly to the second uncle, and said, "Second uncle, what should we do, if we don't leave, we will die inside"
At this time, the beauty brother suddenly said, "We can go out of this pool, there is living water flowing back and forth, I think there must be a mystery in this" I heard it and felt that it was not unreasonable, the beauty brother was very clever, and his mind was usually full of ghost ideas, I looked at the second uncle and the fat man, and they both nodded in agreement, so I thought it would be better for us to swim through this pool to escape from this seeping tomb, anyway, there is really no other way except this pool.
Erzhuang didn't say a word, the first one jumped into the pool, the water in the pool was also gentle, and then we jumped in one after another, and in an instant it was as if the body was weightless, and I couldn't catch anything, just swam along the back and forth flow of water, but I held my breath before I went into the water, or I don't know how long the tomb is underwater, I have to drown in it.
I tried to keep my eyes open, trying to see the road under the water, the second uncle they are still swimming forward, I found that the water flow just now after we swam past a certain point naturally divided into two streams, strange very, I speculated that there must be something strange under the water, sure enough, a few meters forward, I saw two forks, the left fork in the water direction downstream, and can vaguely see that there is a bright light at the end of the water, it is estimated that it leads to the outside of the tomb, although I am not sure, and the water on the right side is countercurrent, But it was evident that it was leading deeper into the darker chamber, and that there was a stream of water behind us that was constantly pushing us downstream, and I suddenly understood what I was saying in the chamber, that he had a way, and that his solution was to send us out and continue deeper into the treacherous tomb.
At this time, my anger has obviously felt that it is not enough, I am still hesitating at the fork in the road, the fat man follows me and pulls me and keeps gesturing at me, which means that your second uncle and they have all swam out of the distance, what are you still doing here. I actually don't know what I'm doing, if it's me, I usually don't hesitate to choose the left side and can't wait to get out, but I don't know how many times I saved us in this tomb, if there is no left and right, we may not be able to live now, I feel that I can't just go out, even if I have no ambitions, but buddy, I still have this conscience, whether I can help or not, I can do my part, and my subconscious tells me that this tomb is not simple, and I can't leave a person in the tombPerhaps this is the so-called revolutionary friendship.
You say this person is also strange, the more dangerous the more calm, my brain turned fast, guessed that the left and right of this person must choose the right, just a turn and swam to the right, the fat man looked, I felt that I was crazy, directly in the water grabbed my feet and did not let go, I ignored the fat man's objections, kicked the fat man's hand away at once, and constantly struggled to swim inside, against the current, plus just now has been under the water for so long has been holding the breath, the whole person feels that the head is swollen, His eyes were about to protrude from his sockets, and he choked on several mouthfuls of water in succession.
I was still paddling forward, just when I felt that I was about to die, the fat man grabbed my collar directly from behind and pulled me to swim forward, I was confused and couldn't open my eyes, anyway, I don't know how long I swam again, and I encountered several protruding stones on the way, and it hurt all over my body, and finally showed my head and emerged out of the water.
